Eggplant 'Purple Rain'

Purple Rain likes a position of full sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Purple Rain is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) between Eggplant plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Purple Rain about 42 days before your last frost date.

As Purple Rain is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
