The fruit is slender, dark purple, and cucumber-shaped, reaching up to 9 inches long on upright plants that top out around 30 inches. Each plant yields 4 or more glossy fruits per season. It performs in USDA Zones 5–12, handles summer heat well, and — unlike many eggplant varieties — adapts to shorter northern seasons. Annual in most climates, though in frost-free zones 10–12 it can persist as a short-lived perennial.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KVITER","offers":[{"title":"1 pack","offer_id":48558856175865,"sku":"Pr-Eggplant-175","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 pack","offer_id":48558856208633,"sku":"Pr-Eggplant-175-2pkt","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 pack","offer_id":48558856241401,"sku":"Pr-Eggplant-175-3pkt","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/4269\/3881\/files\/mainimage_31e3508f-fd89-4db9-907c-698aa9f09aee.jpg?v=1781981770"},{"product_id":"black-beauty-eggplant-seeds","title":"Black Beauty Eggplant Seeds","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack Beauty Eggplant (Solanum Melongena) is an early 1900s American heirloom that became the standard grocery-store eggplant for most of the 20th century — and for good reason. Plants grow into bushy, spreading specimens about 30 inches tall with a 2–3 foot spread, producing large, glossy, deep-purple to near-black fruits that can reach 4–6 inches across. The flesh is creamy and mild when harvested young; wait too long and the seeds coarsen, the skin dulls, and the flavor turns bitter — so timing the harvest right is the one skill this variety actually demands. A warm-season annual with roots in South Asia, it grows across USDA Zones 5–12 and genuinely thrives in heat. Grill it, roast it, stew it, or use it as the base for baba ganoush or eggplant parmesan — it holds up well under most cooking methods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KVITER","offers":[{"title":"1 pack","offer_id":48590719516921,"sku":"BK-Beauty-Eggplant-500","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 pack","offer_id":48590719549689,"sku":"BK-Beauty-Eggplant-500-2pkt","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 pack","offer_id":48590719582457,"sku":"BK-Beauty-Eggplant-500-3pkt","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/4269\/3881\/files\/191_BK-Beauty-Eggplant-500_0.jpg?v=1782329027"},{"product_id":"rosa-bianica-eggplant-seeds","title":"Rosa Bianica Eggplant Seeds","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRosa Bianca Eggplant (Solanum Melongena) is a classic Italian heirloom with round, lavender-and-white streaked fruits that look nothing like the elongated purple eggplants most grocery stores stock. Fruits reach 4–6 inches across, the flesh is creamy white, dense, and genuinely low in bitterness — which is the main reason Italian cooks have favored this variety for generations. Plants are compact and bushy, growing 24–36 inches tall, and produce well across a 70–80 day harvest window. A warm-season annual suited to USDA Zones 5–12, it needs heat, full sun, and patience at the start — but once established, the yield is generous. The round shape slices evenly, which makes it the better choice over elongated varieties for grilling, roasting, and dishes like caponata or eggplant parmesan where uniform pieces actually matter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KVITER","offers":[{"title":"1 pack","offer_id":48814747156729,"sku":"Rosa-Bianca-Eggplant-250","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 pack","offer_id":48814747189497,"sku":"Rosa-Bianca-Eggplant-250-2pkt","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 pack","offer_id":48814747222265,"sku":"Rosa-Bianca-Eggplant-250-3pkt","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/4269\/3881\/files\/main_c8677c41-f047-4623-aa09-09260a87c587.jpg?v=1786652694"}],"url":"https:\/\/kviterseeds.com\/collections\/eggplant-seeds.oembed","provider":"KVITER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
