Eggplant, Rosa Bianca (Solanum melongena) - 50 Seeds • Heirloom • Non-GMO • Open Pollinated • American Grown Seeds • Annual • USDA Zones: 4-9 The Rosa Bianca Eggplant is a cherished Italian heirloom known for its large, round fruits and striking rose and white streaked skin. Its tender, creamy flesh has a delicate flavor, free of the bitterness sometimes found in other eggplant varieties. This variety is open-pollinated, enabling you to save seeds for future planting. Rosa Bianca Eggplants perform best in full sun and well-drained soil, and they are hardy in USDA zones 4-9. Grow this heirloom in your garden for a colorful and flavorful harvest. GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Rosa Bianca is an Italian heirloom eggplant variety that has a unique round shape and is rated as one of the best by home gardeners! The delicious, creamy flesh of this variety has no bitter taste. Rosa Bianca delivers good yields of light pink or lavender fruits that are about 5" in diameter. Growing Instructions: When the soil temperature reaches 70 degrees F, eggplant seed can be planted directly, but if you live in a region with a short growing season, it's best to start the seed indoors. In the spring, about eight to ten weeks before the last frost is expected, plant the seeds 1/4" deep. Keep them in a sunny window or under a grow light, maintaining a temperature of around 80 degrees. There can be sporadic germination of eggplant, which can take several weeks. Providing organic matter will help seedlings thrive. Gradually expose them to the elements by leaving the pots outdoors during the day. When the average air and soil temperature reach 70 degrees, or about 3 weeks after the last frost, plant the seedlings in well drained soil in full sun; for fullest growth, allow each plant 2-3' in all directions. Eggplant also grows very well in container gardens; most northern gardeners depend on this method in order to succeed in growing this heat loving plant. Eggplant thrives in the full heat of summer; row covers, black plastic, or other methods to conserve heat may be necessary in some climates. If temperatures threaten to fall below 55 degrees F, cover the plants. As soon as the seedlings become established, mulch them to conserve moisture and control weeds. Keep the soil evenly moist, and apply fertilizer or organic matter once monthly. • FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $35 or more. • Flat Rate shipping no matter how many seeds you order. • Growing instructions included on each seed packet.
