Okra Emerald
- Maturity55 Days
A âcompactâ variety (but still growing 5 feet tall) originally developed by the Campbellâs Soup Company. Pods are truly spineless, deep green, thick-walled, slender, and remain tender even if allowed to grow 9â long. Plants grow similar to trees; wide at the top, narrow at the base. An important ingredient in Creole gumbo, Trinidadâs callaloo soup, and Charlestonâs famous okra pilau.

Growing guide
- Sowing
Soak seeds overnight before sowing. Okra is a heat-loving vegetable; do not sow seeds outside until nighttime temperatures remain above 60°F and soil has warmed to 70°F. Plant seeds 3/4â deep, covering with fine soil and watering well. Keep well watered until the second set of true leaves appear.
- Thinning
When seedlings are 4â tall, thin or transplant to allow mature plants to stand 24â36â in all directions.
- Germination
10â14 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture conditions.
- Remarks
Okra has delicious edible flowers. Plants are very prolific and should produce enough flowers to harvest and still enjoy many pods.
- Note
If you pick all the flowers, you will have no pods to harvest!
