Star of David okra, from Israel, makes thick, ribbed pods that hold tenderness longer than slim types. Flavor is rich and almost nutty—great fried, stewed, or grilled whole. Plants are stout and prolific, blooming hibiscus‑like flowers that draw pollinators. Okra’s soluble fiber naturally thickens gumbos and supports digestion. Direct sow in warm soil, harvest pods at 3–4 inches, and pick daily to keep plants producing. Bold pods, bold heritage—this star belongs in hot‑summer gardens.

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 6-10" in length. Inspect and harvest at least every other day. Remove any over-mature fruit to encourage production of new flowers.

Orka

I unfortunately planted the Orka too late in the season in Amarillo Texas. However it still grew WONDERFULLY! I was able to harvest from 3 out of the 5 plants that came up. Next year I'll plant sooner.

Thank you for trying our Star of David Okra seeds, Michael! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience, even though you planted them late. We hope you'll try again next year, and plant sooner!
