Overview
PanAmerican Seed's Patio Baby F1 earned a 2014 AAS regional award in the Northeast as a genuinely small eggplant: plants stay 18 to 22 inches tall and wide with dark green leaves and need no staking. The egg-shaped fruit is dark purple, 2 to 3 inches long and 1 to 2 ounces, with a mild flavor, and a single plant can produce 25 to 50 of them. Expect harvest about 45 days after transplanting. Start seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks ahead in individual pots with bottom heat, harden off, and set out once nights hold above 45F. A natural fit for a large pot on a balcony.
