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!

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
