Thereâs no particular eggplant seed preparation necessary prior to sowing. Eggplant seeds germinate at temps between 60-95 degrees F. (15-35 C.) and seedlings will emerge in seven to 10 days. When growing with eggplant seeds instead of nursery starts, the seeds will remain viable for about four years.
Iâm germinating a plug flat right now. The first seeds germinated in 7 days. At 21 days seeds are still coming up. It can take as long as 6 weeks or more for all of the seeds to come up. The minimum germination standard is 60%. Most varieties will germinate at 80+% and higher. I prechill the seeds in a refrigerator prior to shipping. Itâs best to store them in a refrigerator if there will be a delay in sowing. They should be frozen for 3-4 weeks as mentioned above before seeding.
