Harris Seeds Okra Clemson Spineless

This variety produces pods that lack the tiny, irritating hairs found on many other okra types. This makes harvesting much more comfortable and prevents the skin irritation that often occurs when handling okra plants.

You can expect these plants to reach a mature height of about four feet. Because they grow vertically, they are manageable in most home garden beds, though you should ensure they have enough space to thrive.

Clemson Spineless is a relatively quick producer, reaching maturity in about 55 days. This makes it a reliable choice for gardeners who want a consistent harvest throughout the warmer growing season.

Okra thrives in heat. You should wait until your soil temperature is consistently between 75°F and 80°F before planting to ensure successful germination, which typically takes 7 to 14 days.

The recommended planting method for this variety is transplanting. Starting them indoors allows you to control the environment and ensure the soil is warm enough for the seeds to germinate properly before moving them to the garden.

For optimal growth, space your plants 8 to 24 inches apart within the row, with 24 to 36 inches between rows. This spacing ensures adequate airflow and gives the plants enough room to develop their vigorous root systems.
