Eggplant - Italian Bi-color
I got these seeds from Turtle Tree Seed. My seeds are simply labeled "Italian bi-color" so I am left to guess this is the Italian Pink Bi-Color that comes up when I try to research this variety. Italian Pink Bi-color is an Italian heirloom eggplant that grows 6-8 inches by 4-6 inches on plants that are 24-36 inches tall. The colors seem to vary quite a bit from the images I've found from different commercial sources. Some claim to have lavender with rose pink stripes, while others offer rosy pink with cream stripes, and some show photos of dark purple, or fully pink colored eggplants. Without growing out these seeds, I won't know what color they might be for. Either way, this variety is particularly tasty grilled. Just cut into 3/4 inch slices, marinade in your favorite flavors, and toss on the grill.
