Eggplant Seeds - Konasu. Heirloom, Non-GMO. Solanum melongena. 60 days. Warm season annual. This tiny, bite-sized, rounded eggplant has shiny dark purple skin that looks almost onyx in color. The calyx is also a purplish-black, and beneath the tender skin is white flesh. 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. These appealing little eggplants are perfect for pickling when harvested young. Mature fruit can be cooked as you would other eggplant varieties, and they are especially delicious in stir-fries, tempura or as part of a kabob. Apx. 6313 seeds an ounce.
