| 60 days. One of our native treasures, okra has gotten smaller and smaller in recent years, but this heirloom re-introduces the glory of long, meaty, "real okra" flavor! Twisted like a cow's horn, these 10- to 12-inch ribbed pods are bursting with savory flavor! The plants are equally vigorous, easily reaching 6 to 7 feet tall and very heavy-bearing. For a reminder of the history of one of America's best native vegetables, try this heirloom okra! Okra is easy to grow when both the soil and the nights have warmed. It begins bearing at about 12 inches, and continues until frost. For best flavor, pick the pods at 2 to 4 inches long. Relatively disease- and pest-free. Pkt is 125 seeds. Cannot ship to CA. |
