Kamo Eggplant

Rare Limited Heirloom Open-pollinated

A rare, traditional heirloom eggplant from Japan, known as the Queen of Eggplants, is perfectly round, large with dense, sweet and creamy flesh. The fruits are 8-12cm across. Highly prized for its ability to absorb oils and flavour, holding its shape well in dishes like grilled or fried miso marinated dishes or in dashi broths.

Sowing: Eggplant seeds benefit from bottom heat and germinate quickly in warm soil. Start seeds late winter to early spring in trays with moisture retentive, well-draining soil and keep damp not wet. Cover seeds with 5mm of soil. Cover seed trays to hold the humidity and warmth in. Germination occurs at 24-29C. Remove cover once sprouts are up.

Once planted keep well hydrated.

Quantity: 15 seeds
