Notes
'Nagasaki Long Eggplant' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Nagasaki Long 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 24 to 47 inches tall, and its summer blooms draw butterflies and bees.
