"These stunning vegetables are as easy to grow as peppers, but thrive in hotter weather. Days to maturity are figured from the time you set plants in the garden. Add 6 to 8 weeks to raise transplants from seed. Space plants 2-3' apart. 30 seeds per packet. Millionaire Hybrid.ß55 days. Smooth, very attractive, Japanese type with fine flavor. Delicious in stir fry dishes. Slender fruits, 2"" across, 12"" long, are borne early on upright plants. Proven tops for performance, flavor and wide adaptability. Sun."

Hotweather plant,
July 10, 2009 Submitted byFairyGardener from Alabama
"Make sure to plant this when there is no chance of a cold snap. I planted twelve and only have two survive because of 40 degree weather killed them. Does not seem to do well in sandy soil. production has been great and I hope to have more next year."

Failed to Germinate,
July 31, 2008 Submitted bySymphony from Marin County, CA
"Burpee seeds are usually spectacular performers. Though every summer's garden is different, my The Millionaire's hybrid failed to germinate. Nothing grew. The peppers I ordered also did not germinate well, and the growth of the pepper plants has been quite lack-luster. Everything else has performed beautifully, though."

Millionaire Excells,
July 9, 2008 Submitted byScotchIrishGardenmeister from NorthernLouisiana
"We like Ichiban eggplant; however, we tried Millionaire from Burpee and found it to be just as good if not better. I don't understand the reviewer/(s) that have a negative opinion of this eggplant or did not have good results. It must be variations in different soils in different locations. I'm in northern Louisiana and Millionaire did great here. I highly recommend it ! Great taste !"

Great for Grilling,
May 23, 2008 Submitted byNashvilleGardner from Nashville, TN
"I've tried about 1/2 a dozen eggplant variaties, and this is my favorite. The fruit sets much earlier than some variaties. The fruit is slender and long, almost a foot. They are easily sliced into grilling thickness. A little olive oil, pepper and salt is all they need for grilling, and they are delicious! The fruit is plentiful with relatively few and small seeds. Highly recommended."
