Notes
'Petch Siam' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Petch Siam') 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 is ready to harvest about 62 days after planting. White flowers open in summer and attract bees.
Pairs well with Sweet Banana pepper, Genovese basil, and Kent Beauty oregano.
