Notes
'Dancer' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Dancer') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Pink flowers open in summer and attract bees. Fruit is ready about 65 days after planting.
Pairs well with Peppermint mint, Kent Beauty oregano, and Jacob Cline spotted beebalm.
