Purple Long Eggplant

70-80 days.
Oriental-type, slender, dark purple fruits are best used before 8-10" long.
Each 24-30" plant produces 8 or more eggplants.

When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8-12 weeks before the average last frost. To germinate quickly, seed requires VERY warm soil temperatures, between 80 and 90 degrees F. Either use a heating cable or cover the seed tray with a plastic bag to contain warmth. Transplant seedlings outside 1 to 2 weeks after last frost.
