How to grow Eggplant 'Diamond'

  • Full Sun

  • Very High

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

Growing Diamond from seed

Start indoors eight weeks before 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 Diamond about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Diamond

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Diamond is a tender plant.
