55 days from setting out transplants. Here it is, the patio eggplant you have been looking for! Orlando sets baby fruit that can be picked as small as 2 inches long, simply packed with delicious eating! Borne on space-saving plants, it’s the eggplant that enables city and apartment dwellers to grow their own crops . . . not to mention those of us with full-to-bursting veggie patches!
The fruit is tender, flavorful, and free of bitterness. Such a dark purple that it looks black, it is succulent and perfectly textured. And it’s ready in less than 2 months!
Orlando can be grown in tall planters, big flowertubs, or even windowboxes and hanging baskets. It sets a good crop of fruit in less space than you would believe possible, and is a trouble-free plant from north to south. Very adaptable and easy!
Begin seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before planning to set out. Eggplant is a warm-weather crop, so wait until after danger of frost before transplanting seedlings into the sunny garden or patio container. Pkt is 15 seeds.
