Florida Market Eggplant is an heirloom variety that produces a high yielding harvest. It was first grown in Florida during the late 1800’s. Heat-Tolerant and High-Yielding, Florida Market is an excellent variety for the Florida Garden. These thicker, more plump, Eggplants tend to grow well in our Florida climate. Eggplants thrive during the Spring and Summer. They will produce well into the Fall.

If grown in containers, make sure to water well.

Growing Eggplants in Summer: We recommend growing your Eggplant in containers. This makes it easier to progressively limited the plant’s sun exposure as the days heat up and grow longer. Make sure to keep your container-grown eggplants well-watered over the Summer!
