Eggplant Seed
Upright, semi-spineless plants make it easy to harvest the slender, elongated fruit, which sets on early. The glossy, bright purple fruits stay tender and non-bitter at any size. Their thin, tender skin does not require peeling, making them great for dicing into stir-fries or slicing lengthwise for grilling. Harvest at 5–7″ for baby size or 9–12″ for full-sized fruit. Plants perform well both in the ground and in containers.
