We are always seeking an okra that will produce well in our short season! Clemson Spineless is a great okra choice for shorter seasons as it is short in stature and produces an abundance of dark green pods quickly. Pod maturation is spread over the season though, so you won't be overwhelmed all at once.

Lightly scarify seeds with sand paper and soak for 12 hours to enhance germination. Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date to get a head start. Not frost tolerant. Transplants well, but can also be direct sown after last frost date. Harvest continually to keep plants productive. For seed harvest, leave pods on plant to dry down.
