Notes
'Nigral' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Nigral') 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. It grows upright and matures in 65 days. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Sweet Banana pepper, Kent Beauty oregano, and Ellagance Purple lavender.
