Eggplant Seeds - Purple White

Purple White eggplant plants are warm-season annuals with an upright, bushy growth habit and steady development throughout the frost-free growing season. They are well adapted to warm and temperate climates and grow best with consistent warmth, full sunlight, and evenly moist soil. When grown from seed, plants establish reliably in fertile, well-drained soil and develop sturdy stems that support balanced seasonal growth. This variety is suitable for home gardens, raised beds, and container planting where proper spacing allows good air circulation and uniform plant development.
