Notes
'Icicle F1' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Icicle F1') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its upright habit suits a pot or the back of a bed, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Kent Beauty oregano, Jacob Cline spotted beebalm, and Scarlet runner.
