OKRA or GOMBO (Hibiscus escultentus) Pure Luck F1

Description:
We are continually looking for a more reliable Okra variety for our difficult climate. We believe this to be the best available for those willing to have a go. The delicious seed pod is known as Ladies Fingers, or Bhindi in curry restaurants. Sow early in heat and plant out 30-45cm apart in well composted soil under glass or plastic in late May. Ripe seeds can be used as a coffee substitute. Harvest the pointed pods at 5cm long. Very beautiful higiscus flower.

WHEN TO SOW
March to April.
WHERE TO SOW
In seed trays at 20° c.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Prick out at two leaf stage into small pots. Grow on at 16° C in full light. Plant out into rich soil or into a large container.
