70-80 days. [Heirloom from Puerto Rico] 4 ft. tall plants produce excellent yields of lavender-pink, teardrop-shaped fruits with white shoulders. The skin is tender without a trace of bitterness, and the white flesh is mild and sweet because the seeds are so late to develop in the fruits. Our favorite eggplant and is the one we always make sure to plant every year.
approximately 50-90 seeds, depending on the variety
