Clemson Spineless Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is the most popular variety of okra for a reason. This heavy producer provides yields of spineless, tender and delicious pods. Standard seed packet contains 3 g (about 60 seeds). Jumbo packet contains 1 oz (about 525 seeds).
Okra is delicious for eating by itself fried or oven roasted. But it's a critical ingredient for cajun dishes like gumbo or jambalaya; and many Indian foods. This fast growing vegetable will amaze your children as they watch it grow taller and taller up to 8 feet. Large, premium seed packets give instructions on how to grow and when to plant outdoors.
Soak overnight or scarify seeds by nicking the hard seed coat to improve germination. Start indoors 3-4 weeks before setting out to transplant. Take care not to disturb roots. Or, for direct seeding, sow outside after soil has warmed to 70°.
