Star of David Okra is a vigorous heirloom that grows tall and produces many flavorful pods. The pods can reach 5 inches, while harvesting them at 2–4 inches keeps plants flowering and producing.
Start seeds indoors 4–5 weeks before planting out, or sow outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures exceed 70°F. Plant ½ inch deep and provide fertile soil with even moisture. Germination takes 7–10 days.
