Eggplant Seeds - Aubergine Zora

Aubergine Zora eggplant plants are warm-season annuals with an upright, moderately vigorous growth habit and well-branched structure. They are suited to warm and temperate climates and require a frost-free growing period with consistent warmth and sunlight. When grown from seed, plants establish steadily in fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering to maintain even moisture. This variety is suitable for home gardens, raised beds, and container planting where proper spacing supports healthy growth and good air circulation throughout the season.
