How to grow Eggplant 'Antigua'

  • 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 Antigua 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 Antigua from seed

Start indoors eight weeks before last frost

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 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Antigua

Carefully harden off seedlings before setting out into the garden.

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