Notes
'Patio Baby' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Patio Baby') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, 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. Fruit is ready about 50 days to maturity. Bees visit the summer blooms, so it also helps pollinators.
Pairs well with Ellagance Purple lavender, Bible hyssop, and Peppermint mint.
