Long Purple eggplant is an Italian heirloom eggplant, producing long 8-10 inches, dark purple fruit with firm, mild flesh and thin skin. Good yields
Eggplants want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5 feet apart and water regularly. Support these heavy bearing plants with a tomato cage or sturdy stakes.

Harvest when fruits are full size and fully colored up and slightly soft. Use in any of your favorite eggplant recipes. They are delicious in thick slices simply brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt and herbs and baked. They are excelling stir fried with ginger, basil and soy sauce.
