Test Long Purple Eggplants Check out our other listings! Long Purple, also known as Italian Long Purple, is a prolific heirloom eggplant variety that is quickly becoming the top choice for home gardeners in the U.S. Fruits are long, slender, and deep purple in color, and grow to around 8 - 10 inches in length. Flesh is bright-white, tender, and mild with few seeds. If you're after an even more tender, delectable treat, try harvesting the fruit when they're around 5 to 6 inches in length! Plants grow to around 3 feet tall and yield about 1 to 3 pounds of fruit per plant. They do well even in cooler, northern regions. 70-85 days to maturity. Start indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected spring frost. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or small, individual pots. Place containers on a sunny windowsill or beneath a grow light and use a heating mat to keep the soil temperature around 80°F. Germination may take up to three weeks.Keep the seedlings moist and gradually expose them to the elements by leaving the pots outdoors during the day. When the average air and soil temperature reach 70 degrees, or about 3 weeks after the last frost, plant the seedlings in well-drained soil in full sun. For fullest growth, allow each plant 2-3' in all directions. Eggplant also grows very well in container gardens.
