Notes
'Rosa Bianca' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Rosa Bianca') 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. This heirloom is ready to pick about 73 days after planting, and its flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Kent Beauty oregano, Woodland strawberry, and Okra.
