Grow elegant, flavorful eggplants with Long Purple Eggplant, a classic heirloom variety known for its slender, elongated fruits with deep purple skin and tender, mild flesh. This variety matures earlier than many large-fruited eggplants and produces high yields over a long harvest period.
Long Purple eggplants are excellent for grilling, roasting, stir-fries, curries, ratatouille, frying, and Mediterranean or Asian dishes. The thinner fruits cook quickly and evenly, making them a favorite for home gardeners and chefs alike. Plants perform well in garden beds, raised beds, and containers.
You will receive:
✔️ 50 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated heirloom
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
