The modern varieties of eggplant will develop upright bushes that have large, furry leaves and hard, stiff stems. Eggplants will grow from one to four feet tall, depending upon the variety that you are planting and your growing area. Eggplant comes in many sizes and shapes - from large and plump to slender and long. Asian varieties include colors of yellow, green and purplish red. Domestic varieties are colored purple, white, or purple-black.

  1. Eggplant seeds need very warm soil to germinate. Temperatures of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit are optimal germinating conditions. Eggplant seeds should be started indoors about two months prior to the frost free date in your region.

  2. When growing seeds indoors, you should provide them with adequate light. A fluorescent light works well.

  3. Cold soil can shock eggplant seedlings. You should not place them in your garden until three weeks past the last frost in your area. This will allow the soil time to warm up.

  4. You should plan to plant your eggplants in the sunniest part of your garden. The soil needs to be rich in organic matter and well draining.

  5. You should transplant your eggplants to the garden in the evening. This will help to ease their transition.
