15 seeds of this very unusual plant that is part of the eggplant family, although I have never eaten it. This is a real show stopper, especially in the late spring if you can keep them growing through the winter. I dip a cup of easter egg coloring around each egg to give them all pastel colors. The grandchildren are always amazed. The are exactly the same growning directions as any eggplant, just start inside late winter and put out when all danger of frost passes. Easter Egg Tree,actual chicken sized "eggs" that change from green to white to deep yellow. Grows to about 2 feet tall and spreads about 12 inches. I always offer discounts on shipping. Seeds are $1.25 for up to 8 packs. If for any reason you are not 100% pleased with your purchase, please e-mail me and I will gladly replace anything at my cost. I answer my e-mails everyday(if at all possible) and would love to hear from you with any problems. This is only a hobby for me because I love plants so much and want to share what I love with others. Thank you so much for looking at my storeLori
