Peaceful Valley Clemson Spineless Okra Seeds

The Clemson Spineless variety is bred to have smooth pods without the prickly spines found on many other okra types. This makes harvesting much more comfortable and efficient, as you won't need gloves to pick the pods.

For the best texture and flavor, harvest the pods when they are young and tender, ideally between 2 and 3 inches long. If you let them grow larger, they tend to become woody and tough.

Okra is a heat-loving plant that dislikes root disturbance, so we strongly recommend direct sowing these seeds into your garden soil once the weather is consistently warm. They germinate best when the soil is warm.

Yes, the beautiful hibiscus-like flowers are edible and make a lovely, mild-flavored addition to salads or as a garnish. Just keep in mind that every flower you eat is one less okra pod the plant will produce.

Since these plants grow to be 4 to 5 feet tall, give them enough room to thrive. Ensure they have full sun exposure and enough spacing to allow for good airflow, which helps prevent disease.

Yes, because these are open-pollinated seeds, you can successfully save the seeds from your best-performing pods to plant in future seasons. Just allow the pods to fully mature and dry on the plant before collecting the seeds.
