60 days to maturity. Warm season annual. An early maturing hybrid with high yields and an upright plant habit. Fruit has deep purple skin and calyx, matures to 14-16" long, and weighs about 1/2 lb. Good for both greenhouse (spring harvest) and open field growing (summer harvest). Excellent quality fruit. Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence (80-90°F minimum). Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting.
