Overview
Ivory, also sold as Ivory Patio, is a white eggplant that grows 18 to 24 inches tall and does equally well in the garden or in containers. The oval fruit is about the size of a baseball and weighs five to seven ounces, and the plants produce a lot of them, so staking is required to keep the loaded stems upright. Count on about 126 days from sowing seed to harvest, meaning seed should be started indoors early to make the most of the season. Its white fruit and manageable size make it an attractive choice for a patio pot.
