About This Variety
Meet This Variety
When a ready bed or container is available for sowing, Use Nightshade (Solanum spp.) in kitchen gardens as a perennial garden crop. Prepare a place with full sun, moderately fertile, well-drained soil, and room for normal growth.
For the first stage of planting, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow, with a simple routine focused on newly emerging plants after sowing.
Grow Nightshade from seed for kitchen gardens.
