How to grow Eggplant 'Classic'

  • Full Sun

  • Very High

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water very often. Classic is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date.

Growing Classic from seed

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. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

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

Transplanting Classic

Classic is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
