Gurney's Eggplant Midnight Queen Hybrid (30 Seed Packet)

Midnight Queen Hybrid is the best eggplant for the home garden. Unlike other eggplants, Midnight Queen's meaty, succulent, bright white flesh does not turn brown when cut and retains an attractive appearance. Never bitter, Midnight Queen's fruits are sweet and delicious inside and out. Even its rich, glossy, purple-black skin is a culinary delight. Prepare an exquisite eggplant parm or try a unique, tasty eggplant jerky. Ranging in size from 6 to 8 in. and weighing in at over 1/2 lb., Midnight Queen holds up to freezing better than other varieties. Vigorous, hardy and easy to grow, it withstands drought, pests and disease. To plant, place the seeds in well-drained, enriched soil and lightly cover. Seeds will germinate in 7 to 14 days and you'll enjoy a harvest of delicious fruits in 55 days. Even after other eggplant varieties slow and stop production, Midnight Queen continues to produce full-size fruit through the entire summer.
