FAQ
Should I soak okra seed before planting?
Yes. The source recommends soaking seeds for 24 hours before planting to help the hard seed coat take up moisture.
When should I harvest Clemson Spineless okra?
Pick pods often while they are tender. Clemson Spineless can stay useful at a larger size than many okras, but frequent harvest keeps plants productive.
Is okra annual or perennial?
For most gardeners it is a warm-season annual. It can behave as a perennial only in very warm tropical zones 12-13.
