This variety is rather slim when compared to its eggplant relatives, but is not any less delicious! Dice up this eggplant and use it in your next stir fry! Consider staking to help support plant when fruiting.

Know Your Zone

Eggplants are a warm season vegetable and are tender to frost and light freezes. Be prepared to protect if there is a late cold spell. For transplants, soil temperatures should be around 60 degrees fahrenheit. Air temperature at night should range from 60-65 degrees fahrenheit and during the day should range from 70-75 degrees fahrenheit. Estimated time to transplant seedlings is 2-4 weeks after the last frost date for your area.
