Smooth, very attractive, Japanese type with fine flavor. Delicious in stir-fry dishes. Slender fruits, 2" across, 8 to 10" long, are borne early on upright plants. Proven tops for performance, flavor and wide adaptability. The stunning eggplant is as easy to grow as peppers but thrives in hotter weather. Days to maturity is figured from the time you set plants in the garden. Add 6 to 8 weeks to raise transplants from seed. Space plants 2 to 3' apart.
