Notes

'Niranjan Eggplant' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Niranjan Eggplant') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 24 to 47 inches tall, and bees and butterflies visit its summer blooms.

Pairs well with Pepper, Oregano, Borage, and Thyme.
