No wonder it won a 2005 All-America Selection!

This dwarf reaches just 18 to 24 inches high and wide, setting masses of showy purple-lavender blooms all over its well-branched form. These are followed by eggplants in clusters of 2 to 4. Very slender and long, they are neon-lavender with bold streaks of white — absolutely showstopping!

And the flavor is the best part of all. Pick Fairy Tales young — about 4 inches — and sink your teeth into the most tender, sweet, succulent Eggplant you’ve ever tasted. No bitterness here!

Fairy Tale Hybrid has been awarded a 2005 All-America Selection for its revolutionary habit and look, but I think its best merit is flavor! Plan to design your garden around this splendid edible ornamental!

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. Set 18 inches apart. Pkt is 15 seeds.
