Okra - Hill Country Red seeds

Okra Hill Country Red - 10 SeedsHeirloom & Open-Pollinated

Okra Hill Country Road is a stunning Okra variety that produces short but plump pods with a striking burgundy tip and green pod. The flavour is crisp and highly tender when blanched and boiled. It does taste great when fried! Okra is a warmth-loving tropical annual plant.

These okra plants reach up to 1.8 m tall and produce okra in abundance. Harvest the pods when 5-7cm long - they are most tender and flavourful at this stage. Days to harvest: 60 - 70.

Okra is a warm-weather crop, needing both the soil and the nights to be warm before its vigorous growth. Plants begin bearing when about a foot tall and will continue until frost if kept picked. For best flavour, harvest the fruit at 10-15cm long.

Propagation notes will be supplied with a seed packet.
