If you love growing your own vegetables but are short on space, the Patio Baby Eggplant is a perfect choice. This dwarf variety of eggplant (Solanum melongena) is ideal for small gardens, balconies, and container growing. With its compact size, high yield, and beautiful deep purple fruit, it’s both an ornamental and functional addition to your garden. This plant was not only beautiful on my front patio, but it produced fruit for several months.
