Notes
'Turkish Delight' eggplant (Solanum melongena 'Turkish Delight') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Fruit is ready about 60 days to maturity, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Sweet Banana pepper, Everbearing strawberry, and Okra.
