Notes
'Annina' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Annina') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fruit is ready about 65 days after planting, and the purple flowers draw bees.
Pairs well with Sweet Banana pepper, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Peppermint mint.
