Long Purple Eggplant

These are nice, tender egg plants. The plants produce a lot of fruit - it doesn't seem possible considering the size of the plant itself. Unfortunately, they are temperature sensitive. They need warm conditions to germinate in the spring. Then are sensitive to very hot weather if they are not watered well - they will drop flowers. I believe this is true for all egg plants, so do your research before trying to grow these. Worth the effort!

I have grown this eggplant two years in a row & couldn't be happier! I've had no pest problems & I don't use any chemicals on my veggies. It's a great producer, requires little maintenance and tastes wonderful! The size is perfect for my needs. Will definitely grow this year after year.
