Okra 'Pure Luck' F1 is also known as Ladies Fingers/Gumbo or Bhindi. It is used extensively in cooking around the world although its popularity in UK stems from Indian dishes and Carribbean food.
Okra 'Pure Luck' F1 produces slender dark green smooth pods that are best picked young when about 6-7cm long & before they become tough.
It does require consistently high temperatures (18-21°C) from sowing to growing on to perform well, and in the UK these temperatures can only really be maintained within a greenhouse. Okra can be grown in greenhouse soil or in large pots & grows to between 80-90cm high.
Okra 'Pure Luck' F1 can be eaten raw in salads but is usually added to stews/soups or deep-fried. This variety is the best available to cope with our UK climate & is great for those who like a challenge and are willing to have a go. It is a close relation of the Hibiscus so has a very pretty flower.
