| 50 days. A Park Space-Saver, Lee is the most compact okra we've ever grown in trials. The unusual growth habit holds the pods out at an angle from the plant instead of nearly straight up. Not only does this make harvest easier, but it enables shorter spaces between each pod, for heavier yields in less space than ever! These pods are some of the finest you will ever eat, with a full, rich flavor okra lovers will relish. The pods reach 6 to 7 inches long on spineless, open-habit plants 3 feet tall. A great choice for limited-space gardens, Lee uses its resources more efficiently than other okras -- and you get to reap the delicious results! Okra is a warm-weather crop, needing both the soil and the nights to be warm before beginning its vigorous growth. Plants begin bearing when about a foot tall, and will continue until frost if kept picked. For best flavor, harvest the fruit at 4 to 6 inches. Pkt is 1/4oz (125 seeds), which sows about 25 feet of row. Cannot ship to CA. |
