White Egg Eggplant Seeds - Solanum Melongena, 20 seeds

Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

White Egg Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is a warm-season annual vegetable grown for its smooth, egg-shaped, ivory-white fruits. The creamy, mild flesh is never dull on the plate. The ornamental plants look as good as they taste — the tender fruits grill, roast, and stir-fry beautifully.

Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant out only after all danger of frost has passed and the weather is consistently warm.
• Soil: Rich, well-draining loam with a pH of 5.5–6.8. Work compost or well-rotted manure into the bed before planting.
• Sunlight: Full sun, at least 6–8 hours per day.
• Watering: Water evenly and consistently; mulch around plants to hold moisture.
• Spacing: Sow 1/4 in deep. Space transplants 18 in apart in rows 36 in apart. Stake plants to support heavy fruit.
• Germination: 7–14 days at 75–90°F (24–32°C); a heat mat helps.
• Harvest: Pick when fruits are 5–6 in long with glossy skin. Cut with a sharp knife, leaving a short stem; regular picking keeps plants producing.
• Tips: Eggplant is a heavy feeder — side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer when fruits begin to set. Harvest while fruits are still glossy and firm.
