Nightshade family

Nightshade family is presented here as a botanical plant family containing 7 available plant profiles. Examples include chili pepper, Eggplant, Physalis peruviana, Physalis pruinosa, potato, Tomatillo. This classification is useful for orientation, but it does not replace the individual profile: growth habit, space, frost sensitivity, and nutrient demand can vary substantially within the same category.

Recorded sowing windows extend across February - June; transplanting is listed for April - June, and harvests for July - October. These dates are guidance for Central European conditions. Timing can shift in cool upland areas, sheltered courtyards, or warm urban gardens. Soil temperature, frost risk, and the actual development of young plants remain more important than a fixed calendar date.

The site records include full sun, warm, sheltered, while water needs cover high, medium. 6 of 7 profiles are explicitly recorded as suitable for containers. Useful parts include Fruit, fruit, fruits, tuber. Use the cards and monthly links to make an initial selection, then check spacing, container size, care, and companion-planting details in the complete plant profile.
