I was very excited when I found this eggplant at a great price. I've never had a chance to try white eggplant before, so the idea of having something new to me in the garden was thrilling.
I went online to find out that white eggplant is typically more tender and less bitter than the darker types. I liked this news, less bitter is always a good thing. It also said that this variety grows well in hot, humid climates. Perfect!
The plant grew a bit, then just stopped. Its not dying, just not growing either. Maybe it's the heat. The most unfortunate part is that it doesn't seem like it is planning to give me any fruit. No flowers, not a single one! Not even buds. I am severely disappointed, but still hopeful that maybe my plant is just being slow. Perhaps it is too hot and will start producing towards the autumn.
Regardless of the lack of flowers and growth, it is still a good looking plant with a pretty name.
