About Millionaire
Millionaire is a slender Japanese hybrid known for early production, glossy dark purple fruit, and a fine, tender texture. The fruits are long and elegant rather than bulky, and they are especially good for quick cooking and grilling.
Growing Millionaire Eggplant
Keep plants growing fast with warm soil, regular feeding, and even moisture, because long-fruited types can stall in cool conditions. Support is helpful once plants load up, and fruits are best cut while still glossy and before they thicken too much.
