Overview
Night Shadow is a midseason Seminis hybrid with large, teardrop, glossy black fruit and a small blossom-end scar, and it tolerates scarring well. It appears on Cornell's list of disease-tolerant eggplant recommendations, which counts for a lot in humid regions, and the sturdy, vigorous plants cope with summer heat. Start seed indoors 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting into rich, free-draining ground in full sun once nights stay above 60F. Pick while the skin is glossy and the fruit gives a little under pressure, keep the soil evenly moist, and harvest regularly to keep new fruit coming.
