About Nadia
Nadia is an Italian-style hybrid with smooth, dark purple, teardrop-shaped fruits and a productive, vigorous plant. It combines the fuller shape of a globe type with better uniformity and reliability than many older open-pollinated varieties.
Growing Nadia Eggplant
Give Nadia room and a stake or cage if the plant is carrying a heavy crop, because the fruits can get substantial. Pick when fruits are full size but still glossy, and watch for flea beetle pressure early in the season while plants are small.
