Okra 'Alabama Red'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Alabama Red is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.0 and 6.5 as Okra is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Alabama Red is a tender plant.
