Seed Savers Morden Midget Eggplant

Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated. This delightful, productive, and, yes, hardy eggplant variety has survived floods, droughts, frosts, and even a hurricane since originating in 1958 at the Morden Research and Development Centre in Canada. It produces stunning, rose-purple flowers and a plethora of 3”–4” purple, oval fruits with a rich, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture.

Growing Instructions: Eggplant does best when started indoors. Soak seeds first to encourage germination.

• Start Indoors: 8 weeks before the last frost
• Germination: 7–14 days.
• Plant Outdoors: 18” to 24” apart in rows 24–36” apart
• Light: full sun
• Soil: well-drained, fertile
• If growing eggplant in raised beds or containers, keep the plants well-watered.
