Millionaire Hybrid Eggplant
Growing Millionaire Hybrid Eggplant
‘Millionaire’ is a productive Japanese-type hybrid eggplant prized for its early maturity, slender deep purple fruits, and sweet, refined flavor. Originally imported from Kyoto, Japan, this variety produces nearly seedless fruits with a smooth, uniform texture and no bitterness. Upright plants are highly productive and unusually tolerant of extreme heat.
Start ‘Millionaire’ indoors for transplanting about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 54 days, begin picking the fruits while the skin is still soft, glossy, and deeply colored. Harvest regularly to maintain the best texture and flavor.
Sweet, tender, and versatile, ‘Millionaire’ is excellent for stir-fries, roasting, sautéing, grilling, and everyday cooking.
