Eggplant Plants

Eggplants contain Potassium, Calcium, and Vitamin A. They are considered a good food for the brain.


When transplanting the eggplant plants, it is best to use a starter plant food. Then when the plant is half-grown, side-dress with nitrogen. Also side-dress immediately after harvesting the first fruits. When harvesting eggplants, use a knife or pruning shears rather than breaking or twisting the stems. For best flavor use immediately after harvesting. For more harvesting tips, read our eggplant harvesting tips article.


We grow our eggplant plants in larger pots, ensuring a more vigorous root system. Plants ship according to our Spring Shipping Schedule. We guarantee our vegetable starter plants to arrive alive, ready to thrive.
