Bright Fruits Look Exactly Like Easter Eggs!
Easter Egg Plant
As many as 12 gaily-colored fruits all summer long!
Amaze the neighborhood children with a summer visit from the Easter Bunny!
Who says Mother Nature hasn't got a sense of humor? You really won't believe Easter Eggplant until you grow it and watch the fruit develop for yourself--it begins white, looking for all the world like a bunch of hen's eggs, and then matures to deep pastel cream, yellow, orange, and even green! Just 12 inches high, the petite plants can sport a dozen "eggs" in a season!
No trouble to grow in any sunny, well-drained spot, Easter Eggplant is actually a member of the Potato family, with wide, lush green foliage protecting the fruit. It is an uncommon delight for the summer garden, and a constant source of wonder to children and the young at heart! Pkt is 25 seeds.

Unique
This was a plant that was fun to watch grow and change with the colors. I slightly expected more color, but it was still good to watch the varying yellows.
Delightfully Different
This plant gets second looks, that's for sure. I started it indoors mid-April, but plan to start it sooner next year since it is early August and I am just now seeing the "eggs". Can't wait to see what colors they turn! A fun and easy to grow plant.
