Okra Seeds - Clemson Spineless
(Abelmoschus esculentus) 60 days to maturity.
Clemson Spineless Okra is hailed as the most popular heirloom okra variety in modern times! Winner of the All-American Selection (AAS) prize in 1939, it remains a classic to this day. As a member of the Mallow family, okra has beautiful creamy yellow hibiscus-esque blooms that are also edible! Try them deep fried or stuffed, to add extra special beauty to your plate. Clemson Spineless Okra is best harvested when young, around 3 inches long.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
TIMING: Start plants indoors 4-5 weeks before the last frost date. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and the soil is warm.
GERMINATION: 6-14 days. Soil must be warm for germination. Soak seed overnight before sowing (optional).
SEEDING: Sow seeds 1/4” deep. Space plants 12-18” apart. Space rows 36” apart.
GROWING: Okra loves the heat! Plant in the sunniest part of your garden. Transplant seedlings deeply, up to their first set of true leaves. Heavy feeders—top up amendments before plants set fruit, fish and seaweed fertilizers work well.
HARVESTING: Pick pods when they are young and tender, for both the best fruit and to keep your plants producing.
