The "Northern" Okra, with Big Yields of Tender Pods Anywhere in the U.S.!
Okra Annie Oakley II Hybrid
Early, tender, and rich!
Hybrid plants produce 2 to 3 times the fruit of open-pollinated varieties!
48 days. This compact hybrid is a sharpshooter when it comes to bringing in huge yields in little space and less time! Annie Oakley II is a classic hybrid, delivering an astounding 2 to 3 times the yields of open-pollinated varieties -- and all on compact plants ideal for today's smaller gardens! A week or two before most others, these rich, very tender green pods are ready for picking!
Best of all, Annie Oakley II demolishes the myth that okra is an exclusively southern, hot-weather crop. It's well-adapted for the cooler climates and shorter growing seasons of the north, turning out just as big yields in New England as in the Deep South!
Okra is easy to grow when both the soil and the nights have warmed. It begins bearing at about 12 inches, and continues until frost. For best flavor, pick the pods at 2 to 4 inches long. Relatively disease and pest free. The Packet is 25 seeds. Cannot ship to CA.
