Product Description
Introducing Stars & Stripes Hybrid Blend, an edible mix of eggplants that is as pretty in the garden as it is tasty. This striking mixture features three distinct varieties in three eye-catching colors--vivid purple, creamy ivory and exotic pinstriped. Often all three colors are gracing the garden at the same time. Heavy yields of the 3 ounce fruits are common and occur over long cropping periods. In fact, you'll get fruit all summer long in many cases. The plants are highly ornamental and work well in containers, for those gardeners with small or no patches, as well as edible landscape beds or dedicated vegetable gardens. Fruits are mostly spineless, tender and delicious. Can be picked at young stage or left to mature on the plant. 65 days to maturity.
