50 days from direct-sowing; 28 days from transplanting.
At last, an Okra that has it all! Jambalaya is super quick, very productive, and delicious. This compact plant is just the right size for a home garden. In short, it's the okra you've been waiting for!
These tender-meaty pods are 4 to 5 inches long, nicely tapered, and very evenly sized. (Great for canning or pickling them whole; they line up beautifully and always fit in the jar without looking squashed!) Dark green and glossy, they appear among small foliage on neat little plants, usually within about 7 weeks of sowing the seed in spring. What could be easier?
Jambalaya is a good okra for use in soups, stews (including the New Orleans delicacy for which it is named!), and casseroles. Fry it whole or sliced for a new taste sensation. It loves heat, doesn't mind humidity, and doesn't need perfect soil to grow and bear its very best.
Okra is a warm-weather crop, needing both the soil and the nights to be warm before beginning its vigorous growth. Plants begin bearing when about a foot tall, and will continue until frost if kept picked. For best flavor, harvest the fruit at 4 to 6 inches. Pkt is 30 seeds.
This exotic, tropical-looking, plant grows 3-6 feet tall and produces 2-3 inch, pale yellow with a maroon center, Hibiscus-like flowers. Narrow, ribbed, edible pods with pointed ends follow the flowers. The pods become tough as they increase in size, so harvest them when they are 3 inches long or less. Pick them daily to keep the plants in production

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
That's the motto of Katie's Krops, a charity founded by a 10-year-old girl to fight hunger in America. Katie's grass-roots vegetable gardens grow produce that is donated to local soup kitchens and food banks. Now, at 16 years old, Katie's goal is to start 500 gardens in all 50 states, and we want to help! So we are donating a portion of the proceeds from select vegetable varieties directly to Katie's Krops. Park Seed has donated over $10,000 since 2015!
What a difference a garden makes! When she was in third grade, Katie grew a 40-lb cabbage, donated it to a local soup kitchen, and was surprised to learn that it had helped feed 275 people. Katie's passion for feeding the hungry from her garden was born.
Now Katie is 16, and has started many vegetable gardens in communities far beyond her own. Her charity, Katie's Krops, has a goal of starting 500 gardens in all 50 states. We at Park Seed are partnering with Katie's Krops to help those in need. Below you will find vegetable varieties marked with this symbol. We will donate a percentage of the price of each packet of these seeds directly to Katie's Krops. That way, you can be part of the Katie's Krops movement too!
