They'll make pretty purple flowers that mature into fruits.  I reccommend harvesting the fruits when they're smallish.  If they ripen too long they get bitter.

Wiki:

Quote:

The Solanaceae, or nightshades, are an economically important family of flowering plants. The family ranges from herbs to trees, and includes a number of important agricultural crops, medicinal plants, spices, weeds, and ornamentals. Many members of the family contain potent alkaloids, and some are highly toxic, but many cultures eat nightshades, in some cases as staple foods. The family belongs to the order Solanales, in the asterid group dicotyledons (Magnoliopsida).[2] The solanaceae family consists of approximately 98 genera and some 2,700 species,[3] with a great diversity of habitats, morphology and ecology.



Quote:

The name Solanaceae derives from the genus Solanum, "the nightshade plant". The etymology of the Latin word is unclear. The name may come from a perceived resemblance of certain solanaceous flowers to the sun and its rays. At least one species of Solanum is known as the "sunberry". Alternatively, the name could originate from the Latin verb solari, meaning "to soothe", presumably referring to the soothing pharmacological properties of some of the psychoactive species of the family.



Quote:

The family has a worldwide distribution, being present on all continents except Antarctica. The greatest diversity in species is found in South America and Central America.



Quote:

The Solanaceae include a number of commonly collected or cultivated species. Perhaps the most economically important genus of the family is Solanum, which contains the potato (Solanum tuberosum, in fact, another common name of the family is the "potato family"), the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), and the aubergine or eggplant (Solanum melongena). Another important genus, Capsicum, produces both chili peppers and bell peppers.



Quote:

The genus Physalis produces the so-called groundcherries, as well as the tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica), the Cape gooseberry and the Chinese lantern.



Quote:

The genus Lycium contains the boxthorns and the wolfberry Lycium barbarum.



Quote:

Nicotiana contains, among other species, the plant that produces tobacco.



Quote:

Some other important members of Solanaceae include a number of ornamental plants such as Petunia, Browallia and Lycianthes, the source of psychoactive alkaloids, Datura, Mandragora (mandrake), and Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade). Certain species are universally known for their medicinal uses, their psychotropic effects, or for being poisonous.



Quote:

With the exception of tobacco (Nicotianoideae) and petunia (Petunioideae), most of the economically important genera are contained in the subfamily Solanoideae. Finally, but not less importantly, the Solanaceae include many model organisms which are important in the investigation of fundamental biological questions at cellular, molecular, and genetic levels, such as tobacco and the petunia.

Quote:

The fruit is botanically classified as a berry and contains numerous small, soft seeds which are edible, but have a bitter taste because they contain nicotinoid alkaloids (it is a close relative of tobacco).

This thread is making me jealous. All my eggplant did was flower and attract every spidermite within a 500 mile radius. It didn't even give me a single stunted fruit! :mad2:

We get light frosts and usually a light snow. 

Many plants will survive outside, here, with minimal shelter.

So, a single eggplant is taking up a large section of fence in a nearby orchard.

I'm finding that it takes me two years or more to get things started from seed, indoors. 

They grow very slow, or not at all, until it gets very hot, outside.

So, one of my late starts has been pinned to the ground, in a small greenhouse.

Since eggplants are very succulent and full of large nodes, I'm hoping mine will root like tomato branches.
