How to grow

Direct sow or transplant after nights stay reliably above 50F, in full sun, spacing plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Keep evenly moist. Harvest pods daily at 2 to 4 inches for the most tender texture, since larger pods turn fibrous quickly. Frequent picking keeps the plants producing.

Mild and tender when picked young, with the classic okra taste prized for frying and gumbo.
