Long Purple Early

"{ wish I had something to say about this and all the other seeds I bought from you, however, I was delayed in starting planting, first, the weather was really awful; Just yesterday I began planting the seeds, it is now 80 degrees beginning around noon, so let's hope all goes well and this year I DO get eggplants that I really like, LONG ONES, hard to find in the markets. I will be happy to let you know how well I did start the seeds. Velia"

Affordable quality seeds

"I am very happy with my purchase. I only put 4 seeds into my seed starting pot because I have a small veggie garden. All four seeds germinated in 2-3 weeks! The seedlings look strong, and I will share them with my gardening friends. Looking forward to the harvest season in summer!"

— Haixia Z. (5/5)

Beautiful fruit and earlier than others!

"Grew first time 2020 and again in 2021. Germinating right now for this year. Very pretty pinkish purple long eggplant. Tasty and tender. Produced earlier than my friend's variety and she was jealous!. Leaves are very very tender so protect from flea beetles with netting and mulch when setting out. No matter the bug damage they soldier on and are very productive."
