Eggplant Seeds - Thai Round. Heirloom, Solanum melongena. NonGMO. 55-60 days. Warm season annual. This disease resistant matti gulla variety adapts well to many growing conditions. Matti is an Indian village famous for this type of eggplant. The very productive plant produces small round green-skinned fruits with white stripes that grow to 2" in diameter and up to 2 ounces. It is very popular in cuisines of India, Thailand, and Vietnam. 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. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Transplant in late spring/ summer (soil temperatures at least above 75°F) in a very warm and sunny location.
