White Velvet - Okra

Ref : P3107 - Abelmoschus esculentum
Bag of 50 seeds

This old, heat-demanding variety produces a large number of white-green, downy-skinned fruits with a rounded cross-section. They are highly prized for homemade preserves, and can be eaten raw or cooked before they reach 8 cm.

Okra fruits contain a mucilaginous substance that thickens soups, sauces and stews.

Germination of okra can be temperamental. Soak seeds for 24 h before sowing, then sow in pots at 25°C, 6 weeks before planting, after the last frosts. Transplant at 30 or 60 cm intervals, in all directions, depending on the size of the variety.

Okra likes to grow in full sun, in deep, rich soil. It benefits from relatively abundant watering!
