Eggplant 'Chōryoku'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Chōryoku is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors.

Aim to sow 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Chōryoku about 42 days before your last frost date.

Chōryoku is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

Chōryoku(長緑) literally means ‘long green’.

May also have a double-meaning based pun; as chōryoku(超力), meaning ‘super-power’.
