When and how do I plant Clemson Spineless okra?
Okra needs heat. Sow Clemson Spineless seeds directly outdoors about 1/2 to 1 inch deep once the soil is reliably warm, at least 65-70F, after the last frost. Soaking the seeds overnight before planting speeds up germination.
How many days until Clemson Spineless okra is ready?
This popular variety produces tender, spineless pods in about 55-65 days. Once it starts, it bears heavily through the warm season if picked regularly.
How much space and sun does okra need?
Give Clemson Spineless full sun and space plants 12-18 inches apart, as they can grow 4-6 feet tall. It thrives in hot summer weather and well-drained soil.
How often should I harvest okra pods?
Pick pods every 1-2 days while they are young and about 3-4 inches long. Pods left too long turn tough and woody, and frequent harvesting keeps the plant producing new pods.
How many seeds are in the packet?
Each packet holds approximately 60 seeds, enough for a productive row of okra that will supply pods all summer long.
Is Clemson Spineless okra heirloom and non-GMO?
Yes. Clemson Spineless is a well-loved open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom okra, so you can save seed from mature, dried pods to replant next year.
How often should I pick okra?
Every day or two. Pods grow fast and turn tough and fibrous if left longer than a few days.
Does soaking seeds help?
Yes. Soaking okra seeds overnight softens the hard coat and speeds up germination.
