CLEMSON SPINELESS OKRA HAS BEEN A FAVORITE OF GARDENERS SINCE IT CAME ON THE MARKET AS AN AWARD WINNER IN THE 1930’S. CLEMSON SPINELESS OKRA PRODUCES BOUNTIFUL CROPS OF STRAIGHT, POINTED, SLIGHTLY GROOVED, DARK GREEN PODS. AND AS THE NAME IMPLIES, THEY ARE TOTALLY SPINELESS. CLEMSON SPINELESS OKRA IS A VERY DEPENDABLE PRODUCER, YOU MAY BE OVERWHELMED BY THE CROP! WITH ITS FUZZY FOLIAGE AND LARGE YELLOW BLOOMS, IT’S ALSO A DECORATIVE ADDITION TO YOUR GARDEN. OKRA LOVES THE WARMER WEATHER OF THE SOUTHERN USA, BUT IT CAN BE GROWN SUCCESSFULLY IN COOLER LOCATIONS WITH SHORTER SUMMERS BY STARTING THE SEEDS INDOORS 6 TO 7 WEEKS BEFORE THE LAST FROST. PICK CLEMSON SPINELESS OKRA PODS WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT 3” LONG, THIS IS WHEN THEY’RE AT THEIR PEAK OF FLAVOR AND TEXTURE. REGULAR PICKING OF OKRA PODS WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION AND EXTEND YOUR HARVEST. THIS OKRA IS TRADITIONALLY COATED AND FRIED IN THE SOUTH, BUT ITS ALSO GREAT IN GUMBOS, STEWS, SOUPS, AND AS A SIDE DISH.
