EGGPLANT

April 1, 2025

  • BLACK BEAUTY– 75-80 days, Heirloom OP, Classic
    This 1902 Burpee introduction has perfect fruits earlier than other varieties. It soon became the classic farmers market and garden standard for eggplants, delicious grilled, baked, or fried. Broad, lustrous, purplish-black, egg-shaped 4” to 6” diameter (up to 2 lb) fruits are borne well off the ground on 18 to 24” plants; the skin is tender, so no need to peel it.
  • FENGYUAN – NEW! – 65-75 days, heirloom Asian (Taiwan), OP. Slender and very long, over 12”, with beautiful thin purple skin (no peeling!) and creamy mild white flesh that’s never bitter. Easy to grow and prolific. Wonderful for grilling or stir-fries.
  • PROSPEROSA – 75 days. A gorgeous eggplant! This Italian heirloom forms a deep purple fruit with a pleated top.  4–5 inch fruit are meaty and mild flavored with a texture perfect for cooking with. tall, vigorous plants.
  • TSAKONIKI – NEW! – 65 days, Heirloom (Leonidio, Greece), OP.  7-10” long slender fruits are purple striped with white, with delicate sweet flavor, never bitter. Great for savory dishes, and locals make a dessert with it
