Growing Information
Growing Violet Delight Hybrid Eggplant
‘Violet Delight,’ formerly known as ‘Asian Delight,’ is a hybrid eggplant prized for its glossy, bright purple fruits, tender skin, and succulent white flesh. Upright plants produce elongated eggplants with a mild, non-bitter flavor and excellent texture, making this variety a versatile choice for a wide range of dishes.
Start ‘Violet Delight’ indoors for transplanting about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 30 to 36 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 53 days, pick the fruits young for tender baby eggplants or allow them to mature for larger harvests. For the best eating quality, harvest while the skin is glossy and the flesh is still firm and tender.
Tender, mild, and versatile, ‘Violet Delight’ is excellent for frying, grilling, curries, stir-fries, and everyday cooking.
