Star of David Okra is an Israeli variety that grows tall stalks and produces pods that are 8 to 10 inches long. Best when picked small and fresh, Star of David is perfect for enjoying at home or taking to your next potluck. Medium, prickly spines if left to mature. 2g ~ 35 seeds.
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.
