AnnualLong Purple eggplant is an Italian heirloom variety prized for its slender, deep purple fruits and tender, mild flavor. Each glossy eggplant grows 8–10 inches long, perfect for slicing, roasting, grilling, or adding to stir-fries. The compact, productive plants thrive in warm, sunny conditions and are ideal for small gardens or container growing. Harvest in about 70–80 days for a steady supply of delicious, versatile eggplants all season long.
Not one of my 6 eggplants germinated. All my other vegetables did great.
I got 100% germination
I grew these specially for my neighbor. She then turns them into delicious meals. She made an eggplant parm with these eggplants that I grew and WOW! It was so good, enough that she asked if I would grow more this year for her. Of course I am going to.
I've grown these for a few years and they are great! Especially like them for grilling.
Loved it!
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
