Ferry-Morse Okra Clemson Spineless Seed

The Clemson Spineless variety is bred to lack the tiny, irritating spines found on the pods of many other okra types. This makes harvesting much more comfortable and prevents skin irritation while handling the vegetables.

Yes, okra is a heat-loving annual that thrives in warm weather. It performs best when planted after the soil has thoroughly warmed up in late spring and will continue producing until the first frost of autumn.

This variety requires full sun to produce a high yield. Aim for a spot in your garden that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.

Harvest the pods when they are young and tender, typically when they are 3 to 4 inches long. Use garden shears or a sharp knife to cut them from the stem, as pulling them by hand can damage the plant.

While okra is typically grown in the ground, you can grow it in a container if the pot is large enough—at least 5 gallons—and has excellent drainage. Ensure the container is placed in a very sunny, warm location.
