75 days. [Heirloom from France about 1850.] This egg-shaped Italian beauty has 5-7 in. fruits, purple with irregular white stripes. A unique eggplant pleasing to both the eye and the palate. Seedlings of 'Listada de Gandia' are not as vigorous as our other varieties, but mature plants are drought-tolerant. Sets fruit well under high heat, though not as well in cold summers. Thin skin does not need to be peeled for cooking.
Packet: 0.25 g unless otherwise stated (approximately 50-90 seeds, depending on variety) sows 60-100’ of transplants.

Known disease tolerance or resistance is indicated in parentheses after the variety name. V, F, and N at the end of a variety name indicate known resistance to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, and nematodes, respectively. Many factors affect disease resistance and results may vary from region to region and from season to season. Disease resistant varieties will not be totally disease-free but they will resist or tolerate disease better than other varieties. Note that many heirloom tomatoes have not been extensively tested for disease tolerance either in the laboratory, or in extensive field trials - absence of disease resistance information in the variety description does not imply lack of resistance.
