Notes
'Eagle Pass Okra' (Abelmoschus esculentus 'Eagle Pass Okra') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 35 to 59 inches tall and wide, so give it room. Butterflies and bees visit its summer blooms.
Pairs well with Tabasco Hot Pepper, Eggplant, and Armenian cucumber.
