Clemson Spineless, a 1939 AAS winner, is still the okra standard—tall, heat‑loving plants with tender, nearly spine‑free pods best picked at 3–4 inches. Slice for gumbo, grill whole, or quick‑pickle. Rich in fiber and mucilage, okra thickens stews naturally and supports digestion. Sow once soil is hot, and harvest daily to keep pods young. Hibiscus‑like blooms feed pollinators; pods feed everyone else. A true Southern workhorse that grows happily anywhere with summer heat.

How to Grow

Plant seed directly into the garden starting 1-3 weeks after average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. When seedlings are 3" high, thin to final spacing. Okra is best when the fruit is tender and immature. Harvest when pods are 2-4" in length. Inspect and harvest at least every other day. Remove any over-mature fruit to encourage production of new flowers.
