Okra Planting Information:

Okra originated from Egypt and Ethiopia, where it grows wild. It is a traditional vegetable that is grown in the South. Five or six plants can produce enough for a small family. Okra will grow in almost any soil where the soil temperature is 60°F. It tolerates hot and humid summers. Plants should be grown in warm areas and receive plenty of sunlight. Okra can be grown directly in the garden, but should be started indoors if you have a short growing season. Plant your seeds indoors 30 days before transplanting in the garden. Okra is known for its poor germination rate, so plant a sufficient number of seeds. Keep weeded, but do not disturb roots. Plants can grow 2 to 8 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile, slightly alkaline soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch and grass clippings, or straw, around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

It is best if the soil dries between watering. It can tolerate drought, but will not thrive in wet conditions.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro every 2 weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Cut okra when pods are 2 - 4" in length, or the pods may become tough.

Hill Country Okra makes a beautiful plant, and the pods are tender and delicious. Could easily be a background plant in a flower bed. Here in Alabama in mid August its about 6 ft tall and going strong. Very nice plants.

Our Hill Country Red Okra reached over 10 ft. tall in 2017, much more than the stated height of 4-6 ft. They produced well after our Clemson Spineless nearly stopped (only 5-6 ft. tall).

55 days. Abelmoschus esculentus. Open Pollinated. Alabama Red Okra. The plant produces good yields of red okra. It is a vibrant heirloom okra variety originating from Alabama, prized for its colorful pods, productivity, and slightly unique flavor/texture compared to standard green types. The fat, short pods, typically 4 inches long, are bi-colored, reddish-burgundy or red-tinged on green, with red stems and leaf veins for an attractive garden display. This okra is delicious when fried, and adds color and unique flavor to salads when young. Makes some of the best fried okra. Harvest regularly when 4 to 6" long. An excellent choice for home gardens. An heirloom variety from Alabama, USA.
