Notes

'Listada De Gandia Eggplant' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Listada De Gandia Eggplant') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows about 36 inches tall and draws butterflies and bees when it blooms in summer.

Pairs well with Pepper, Borage, Oregano, and Mexican sunflower.
