The âEaster Eggâ eggplant provides a plant that is as ornamental as it is edible. The small eggplant produces white egg-shaped fruits that resemble hen's eggs, but later develop into pastel colored eggs in shades of yellow and orange. âEaster Eggâ requires frost-free and warm summer weather. Its small size makes it suitable for smaller gardens and container planting. Grow âEaster Eggâ plants from purchased seedlings or seeds started indoors so you have a head start on the growing season and to ensure the plant has time to mature and fruit.
Water the eggplant about once weekly, or when the soil begins to dry to a 1-inch depth. Supply each plant with about 1 inch of water or enough to moisten the top 6 to 8 inches of soil.
At least six hours of sunlight each day. If growing indoors, place under a grow light or in an area that gets plenty of light.
Cut each mature eggplant from the branch with shears. Pulling on the eggplants may break branches and cause plant damage.
