Eggplant 'Nubia'

Eggplant Nubia bears 4-6 inch long, oval-shaped eggplants with splashes of lilac and cream. Not only is Nubia gorgeous in the garden, it's an excellent choice for the grill or fried. 68 days to maturity.

Eggplants want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5 feet apart and water regularly. Support these heavy bearing plants with a tomato cage or sturdy stakes.

Harvest when fruits are full size and fully colored up. Use in any of your favorite eggplant recipes. They are delicious in thick slices simply brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and herbs and baked, or go all out with the Eggplant Parmesan! Its mellow, refined flavor pairs perfectly with a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses,topped with tomato sauce.
