Urge to bed emoji? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eggplant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'emoji?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'urge to bed' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'egg' (as in egging someone on).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bed' becomes 'plant' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'egg'+'plant'='EGGPLANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eggplant that I've seen before include "Vegetable" , "It's also called aubergine" , "What goes into moussaka" , "Its fruit is aubergine" , "US name for aubergine" .)
