About Eggplant Seeds - Black Egg

Solanum melongena

Seed Type Heirloom Seed

Fitting nicely in the palm of your hand, Black Egg Eggplants create small and delectable fruits, unlike the big, meaty and tasteless varieties you see in the supermarket. A Japanese heritage variety, it is the perfect slicing eggplant. Bushes grow up to 3' tall, and are covered in goose-egg sized purple gems.
