Okra - Jing Orange (3.5" pot)
Longer, reddish-orange pods that are tender and mild. An excellent container variety that is easy to grow and productive.
The most important factor when growing okra is heat. Grow plants in the hottest area of the garden. They make an excellent companion to any other plant in the vegetable garden. Their flowers are beautiful and will mix well into an ornamental bed. They can also be grown in 10-12” containers - using black plastic or fabric pots will draw in additional heat. While plants are self-pollinating, you can ensure fruit production by using a paintbrush or cotton swab to pollinate by hand. Timing is key, as flowers are only open for one day. Harvest pods at 6-8” in length.
Harvest: 60 days
Height: 3-4’
Plant Spacing: 18”
