Eggplant 'Rosita' (80 days)
40 seeds $3.00
Rosita eggplant is one of the most beautiful varieties we have ever grown. The teardrop-shaped, medium-size fruits are a lovely shade of lavender-pink. They grow to about 8" long and 4" wide. The white flesh has a mild flavor.
It's not as productive as some varieties, but it is generally satisfactory. It was developed in the 1940s by the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station.
Sowing Rosita Eggplant Seeds
Start eggplant seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow 1/4" deep. Transplant outside 2 weeks after the last frost date. Full sun. Spacing 16".
