Okra is a heat-loving, resilient vegetable that produces upright plants with attractive blooms and abundant pods all summer long. It thrives in full sun and needs moderate watering; once established, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Sow seeds ½–1 inch deep in warm soil—okra won’t germinate well in cool conditions—so direct-sow in the garden when temperatures are reliably warm. Soaking seeds overnight before planting can speed and improve germination.
