Chinese Eggplant (Ping Tung Long)

Other names: Asian eggplant, Japanese eggplant, long eggplant, purple eggplant, aubergine
A beautiful long purple eggplant that brings instant garden drama. Chinese eggplant is softer, sweeter, and less bitter than the big grocery-store eggplants, making it perfect for stir-fries, stews, grilling, roasting, and saucy dishes.
Basic growing instructions:
Plant in full sun. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Keep soil evenly moist and warm. Eggplants love heat, so wait until nights are consistently warm before planting outside. Harvest when fruits are glossy and firm.
