Hill Country Red

Out of stock

Chock-full of good flavor!ย Hill Country Red Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a beautiful heirloom from South Texas. Prolificย plants grow 4-ย to 6-ft tall and yield plump, pale green and burgundy coloredย pods. Tender and delicious — they’re perfect for pickling! (60-70 days)

Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.

Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Start indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost of spring. Transplant outside after the soil has warmed to 65หš to 75หšF. Sow one inch deep and space 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Plants prefer full sun and moist soil with plenty of organic matter.

Harvest daily with a sharp knife during hot weather โ€” pods taste best when young and grow quickly past the stage of prime eating. Wear gloves and long sleeves for protection from spines.
