A gourmet eggplant, highly regarded by top chefs in Japan, plants are super heat and humidity tolerant. A Kyo Yasai or traditional vegetable of Kyoto, this variety is specifically from the city of Kamo, Japan. It is considered a regional delicacy of the area thanks to its creamy, dense flesh and sweet flavor. Eggplant began to be cultivated in Japan in the 8th century, and much effort in breeding and refining has been put in since its introduction!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e This compact variety thrives in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). It loves warm conditions and requires consistent watering, though the soil should not become waterlogged. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize sparingly, as too much nitrogen encourages foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511497589022,"sku":"EG200","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/eggplant_kamo.jpg?v=1782400693","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/eggplant-kamo","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
