Eggplants

"I doubt that imagination can be suppressed.
If you truly eradicated it in a child he would grow up to be an eggplant"
U. Le Guin 1929
Grow these beautiful big plants in a decorative container in the sunshine and for their large and delicious fruits. Yes, eggplants are like tomatoes; although grocery stores carry them in the vegetable section, they are actually pear-shaped berries. They come in glossy black, puple, green, yellow and white as well as a variety of shapes and sizes. Most cultivars need at least 100-150 warm, frost-free days to bear fruit.

Fairytale

Fairytale

2005 AAS Winner! Fairytale is an incredibly attractive dwarf plant only 40-50cm (16-20") tall that will grow well in the garden, in containers, or as an edible landscape feature. Fairytale will consistently produce an abundance of small, striped, pink-on-white eggplants in clusters of 3-5. Harvested at a length of 10cm (4") or smaller, fruit is seedless and almost sweet. Matures in 50 to 60 days. (hybrid seeds)

Ichiban

Ichiban

This is a dark-purple, 15cm (6") long, slender Asian variety with a purple calyx on a very pretty plant. The slim shape and thin skin is ideal for stir-frying and sauteing without peeling. It does require a hot summer to produce well. Matures in 85 days. (open pollinated seeds)
