How to grow Eggplant 'Turkish Orange'

  • Full Sun

  • Very High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Turkish Orange is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Growing Turkish Orange from seed

Start indoors eight weeks before last frost date.

Sow 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.95 feet (60.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Turkish Orange

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

Harvesting Turkish Orange

Pick before the shine fades to encourage further fruiting.
