About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old Provençal variety with long, slender, deep violet fruits that thrive in the warm south. It needs warmth and a sunny spot, but then rewards you with vigorous growth and reliable yield in greenhouse or plastic tunnel. The firm flesh is excellent for ratatouille and stews. Because it is seed stable, you can save your own seed each year.

You will find it spicy, hearty, with firm structure that holds its shape well when stewed.
