Know before you buy
Because these eggplants require a long growing season, you must start them indoors about eight weeks before your last expected spring frost. Direct sowing is generally not recommended as the soil needs to be consistently warm for successful germination.
This blend contains three distinct early-bearing varieties. You will get a mix of purple, green, and white fruits, all featuring a similar 'chubby finger' shape.
These are heat-loving plants that require a full sun location to produce a heavy harvest. Ensure your soil is rich and well-draining, and plan to fertilize regularly throughout the growing season to support the plant's development.
You can expect to start harvesting your eggplants approximately 80 days after transplanting them into your garden. Since this is an early-bearing mix, they are designed to produce fruit sooner than many standard heirloom varieties.
Yes, with a mature height of 25 to 36 inches, these plants are well-suited for large containers. Just ensure your pot has adequate drainage and is placed in a spot that receives full, direct sunlight.
