Okra 'Emerald'

Emerald likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Emerald 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. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.5 as Emerald likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

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 Emerald is a tender plant.
