Eggplant Seed Pack
C$3.99
Rosa Bianca
This delectable Italian heirloom eggplant is known for its beauty as well as its culinary features. The plump, 10-15cm (4-6") fruits are globular and bi-coloured in a gradient. Like a work of art, their ivory canvases are covered in broad, violet/purple brushstrokes. The mildly sweet flesh is meaty, with no bitterness. Plants are more productive when overnight temperatures are warmer. They have tall stems but plants are fairly compact relative to fruit size. Delicious stewed, grilled or stuffed.

Product Info
How to grow
Timing: Start indoors 6 weeks before transplanting in early summer. Use bottom heat to speed germination.
Seeding: Sow around 1cm (1/2") deep, and keep moist. Use individual peat pots to reduce root distubance when transplanting.
Growing: Using a clear plastic cloche or floating row cover will help growth by increasing warmth. Cool temperatures increase leafy growth, but no fruit will set. Plastic mulch laid over the prepared and fertlized soil for a week before transplanting will increase the temperature and promote better fruit set. They grow like peppers, but krrp in mind that eggplants need even more warmth before transplanting in early summer. If the temperature is below 21 degrees C (70F) the fruit may not set.
Usual seed life: 3 years
