Eggplant 'Ichiban'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water very often. Ichiban is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ichiban needs a loamy and potting mix soil with a ph of 6.3 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

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

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

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in late summer.
