Warm season annual. This small Japanese eggplant is a generous producer of unique round fruit that grow to 3" in diameter. It has glossy purple-black skin, a purple calyx, and tender flesh. The plant is upright and grows well in warm climates. Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence (80-90°F minimum). Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Transplant in late spring/ summer (soil temperatures at least above 75°F) in a very warm and sunny location. Eggplants are heavy feeders so use a balanced fertilizer. Too much nitrogen will produce lush foliage and few fruit. Use for tempura, stir-fry, baking, grilling, and pickling. Apx. 6438 seeds/ounce.
