The listing, Heirloom Red Okra Seed has ended.

Heirloom Red Okra Seed-30 count, 2012 harvest. Okra is red until cooked then it turns green! Yummy flavor and tender even at 6" pods!
Lovely plants that grow 7-8 feet tall and have deep red stems; the great tasting pods are long and thin, being quite tender, even when longer than most. This heirloom has been grown by the Bowling family of Virginia since the 1920's.

Planting Tips:
A hot weather plant, start indoors 2-3 weeks before last frost date. Soak seeds overnight before planting. Transplant into the garden a month after last frost date. A heavy feeder, make sure to plant in fertile soil.
Okra is from Africa. Okra loves heat. Days must be over 80F to produce decent crops. The soil must be over 70F. If you have cool summers wait to plant Okra at the end of May or 1st week in June. Plant next heat sinks like rock walls or south sides of structures. Try placing a few bricks or rocks at the base of established plants a heat sinks.
