Lao Purple Stripe
90 days. A lovely little eggplant that is the size and shape of a ping-pong ball. Fruits are a pale lavender with deep purple stripes. A great little eggplant for using in stir-fries and Asian dishes. This variety was brought to the US by Hmong students from the southeast Asian country of Laos.
