Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
You should grow eggplants in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny, warm location. To prevent the plants from bending, you can tie them up. As with tomatoes, side shoots should be removed by breaking them off directly at the base. From time to time, it is worth removing some of the fruit shoots so that the remaining fruit ripens better. "The Early Purple eggplant is a medium-sized, dark purple eggplant that is ideal for outdoor cultivation. Bitter-free, delicate taste. Cultivated in full sun and protected with a good supply of nutrients. When sown in mid-February, harvest begins in July until frost with a good yield. Robust and healthy plants. Pre-grow indoors from early February to early March. Ideal germination temperature 25° - 28°. After germination, place in a sunny and bright window and slightly cooler. Plant out after the last frosts from mid-May in as warm a place as possible. Eggplants are heavy feeders and require a nutrient-rich potting soil."
