What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Emerald Okra Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds produce a beautiful and dependable okra variety known for exceptional tenderness and long harvest windows. This heirloom okra stands out for its smooth, rich green pods that remain tender even when they grow larger than typical okra, making harvesting more flexible and forgiving.

In addition to its culinary value, Emerald Okra is striking enough to serve as an ornamental plant in the vegetable garden. Its upright growth and lush foliage add visual interest while delivering steady production throughout the growing season. Plants begin producing early and continue yielding until frost when grown in warm, sunny conditions.

Emerald Okra performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Its reliable productivity and tender pods make it a favorite for gardeners who want both beauty and performance in their summer vegetable beds.

Tender Pods with Extended Harvests:

  • Smooth, deep green pods that stay tender at larger sizes
  • Early-producing plants with long harvest periods
  • Productive growth through summer until frost
  • Attractive plants suitable for ornamental vegetable gardens

Why Customers Love Emerald Okra:

  • Exceptionally tender pods with excellent flavor
  • Less likely to become woody if harvesting is delayed
  • Ideal for pickling, frying, gumbos, and fresh cooking
  • Productive heirloom variety for home gardens
  • Attractive growth habit adds beauty to garden beds

How to Use / How to Grow:
Okra seeds benefit from soaking and/or scarification prior to planting to improve germination. Lightly nick, scratch, or sand the seed coat, or soak seeds in warm water before sowing. Plant seeds in full sun after soil has fully warmed. Space plants to allow airflow and strong growth. Harvest pods regularly for best texture, though Emerald Okra remains tender even when allowed to grow larger.
