Growing an Easter Egg Plant
I have just purchased seeds for the Easter Egg Plant. I have seen this plant once and it is very beautiful. Has anyone tried to grow this plant indoors and how did it turn out? Any tips and tricks to share about growing and the care of this beauty would be appreciated.

I bought my seeds at Walmart. I am also using my aero garden to grow the seeds. It has been 5 days and nothing yet, but it says 7 - 14 days to germinate. Someone mentioned lots of sun, and with the aero garden, that won't be an issue indoors. I am anxious to see these seeds grow.

You can purcase the seeds though Burgess seeds. Yes, they are edible, and grown outside as an annual for this. Can be grown as a house plant, but will have to be pollinized to bear "eggs"

My Grandmother had these all over the house. They require lots of sun and she used to water with cold tea. The eggs eventually turn yellow and fall off. The seeds inside the overripe eggs can now be planted again. They honestly look like a real egg hanging off of a vine.

I think this is a form of eggplant. They're easy to grow (in the South where I live) outside, but I don't know about indoors.

Is the fruit edible?

Hi, I have one. It has flowered several times(beautiful delicate purple flowers) but mine have never turned to fruit. I assume this is my fault, for not watering consistently. I have had it for a year and its 1-2 feet tall. My cats have also snacked on the leaves...quite a hearty plant :-) I am sure you will do better!

Is this for real? If so, I'd love more info.

I grew a plant from my plant once..but it was weak and eventually died.(I live in northern Michigan and I think it was too late in the season. Maybe you could save the seeds to restart. Also..where did you purchase your seeds? I once saw them @ Walmart but nothing since.thanks
