This premium variety, Eggplant Mini Lebanese is popular, for good reason. This variety produces dozens of elongated purple fruit, which actually taste the way eggplant should! Fragrant, tender, sweet and juicy with a smooth texture, unlike the rubbery pulp the supermarkets call eggplant these days! As this is a smaller fruiting variety, Eggplant Mini Lebanese is one of the earliest fruiting varieties of eggplant (about 14 weeks to harvest), is long-lived, and a strong producer, which is sure to provide an extremely rewarding experience for any gardener. This variety does best if it is in a sunny spot in the garden and the leaves to remain dry during watering. Marigolds can be inter-planted with this tomato variety, as they act as a natural insect pest repellent, please visit our store for more details.
