Notes

'Thai Lavender Frog Egg Eggplant' (Solanum melongena 'Thai Lavender Frog Egg Eggplant') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. Give it full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The plant grows 24 to 47 inches tall and blooms in summer, which draws butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Pepper, Oregano, Borage, and Mexican sunflower.
