Clemson Spineless Okra is a flowering plant known for its satisfying crunch, and edible seed pods covered in natural juices with a distinct smooth mouthfeel. (We also offer the Red Burgundy Okra in our store for the bright red variety of okra). A mandatory ingredient in gumbo, it has deep traditional roots in many southern and African cuisines in part by its introduction in the Southern TomorrowSeeds through the slave trade in the 1500s. It’s cultivated in warm and tropical climates, in part by its origins in Africa and South Asia. It is an excellent source of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber.

Spade or turn the soil as deeply as possible. Okra will grow best in soil that has been worked 8 to 10 inches deep. Remove all rocks and trash from the soil, and then rake it soil smooth. For the best yields, plant in the spring 2 to 3 weeks after all danger of frost has passed. For a good fall crop, plant at least 3 months before the first fall frost. Plant the okra seeds about 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart in the row. Space the rows at least 3 feet apart. For good yields, okra must grow in full sunlight in fertile, well-drained soil.
