Eggplant Seeds - Mizuno Takumi - Hybrid.Solanum melongena. 80 days. NonGMO. Warm season annual. This shiny, purplish-black oval-shaped eggplant grows to a plump 1/2 pound. Known for its watery flesh and tender skin, it is most often enjoyed cooked or pickled. The plants are heavy producers in open field or greenhouse alike. Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence (80-90?F minimum). Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Transplant in late spring/ summer (soil temperatures at least above 75?F) in a very warm and sunny location. Eggplants are heavy feeders so use a balanced fertilizer. Too much nitrogen will produce lush foliage and few fruit.
