Rosa Bianca Purple/White Italian Heirloom Eggplant Vegetable Seeds
Solanum melongena
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds
This is my favorite eggplant variety for making eggplant parmesan and is said to come from Sicily, Italy. Fruits are round/oval with a nice texture and have no bitterness. The skin is glossy and a vibrant shade of lavender. It stands up well to frying. Fruits are best harvested just as they start to give way a little when you press on them.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Sun: Full Sun
Water: Allow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering
Fertilizer: Add fertilizer into the planting hole at transplant time. Also fertilize once a month with an organic granular fertilizer, like Espoma Garden-Tone to boost growth and production.
When & How To Sow Seeds: I highly recommend you sow seeds indoors so you can control the growing environment better. Sow 3 seeds per 4 inch pot, filled with sterile seed starting mix. Fertilize with a liquid fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. It will take 2-3 months for it to reach transplant size. Plant outside after all danger of frost has passed.
Germination: 10-15 days
Days To Maturity: 80 days from transplanting into the garden.
How & When To Harvest: Harvest while the eggplant have a shiny outter skin, before they start to turn dull.
Common Diseases: Eggplant can get some powdery mildew, spots, or blight in very wet conditions. Improve airflow by spacing plants 3 FT apart and prune out old, dead, yellowing, or heavily diseased leaves. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect.
Common Pests: The most common pests when growing eggplant are aphids and spider mites. Knock aphids off your plants with a strong blast of water from your water hose. Spray with spinosad for severe aphid infestations and if you have spider mites.
