Abelmoschus, Okra 'Clemson Spineless 80' Organic Heirloom

Description

Okra’s slender, pointed pods are used in soups, stews and for pickling. Grows best in areas with hot summer weather. Plants are attractive, quite productive, and can grow four to six feet tall.

Start indoors three weeks before last frost date, or outdoors after soil has completely warmed. Okra thrives in hot weather and fertile soil, with consistent light watering. Do not over water. Pick okra every two to three days when pods reach about two to four inches long. Older pods get tough and stringy.
