Kemer Eggplant
15 Seeds
(Solanum melongena) Known in Turkey as Kemer Patlican, this eggplant is possibly one of the most requested varieties we've had over the past several years. Compact, early-maturing plants produce heavy yields of elongated, deep purple fruit averaging 2-3" wide by 10" long. White interiors are tender, smooth and slightly sweet. Our strain was collected from Bursa, Turkey in 1948 by the USDA. 60-65 days from transplant. 15 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Germination will be improved by using a growers heat mat. Transplant outdoors once soil temps have reached 60 degrees. Space transplants 18-24” apart in rows 36” apart. Harvest fruit while skin is still glossy and tender.
