Eggplant 'Rosita'

Rosita eggplant is one of the most beautiful varieties we have ever grown. The teardrop-shaped, medium-size fruits are a lovely shade of lavender-pink. They grow to 8" long and 4" wide. The white flesh has a mild flavor.

Rosita is not as productive as some other varieties, but it is generally satisfactory. It was developed in the 1940s by the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station.
