Okra 'White Velvet'

White Velvet okra is one of the best varieties we have ever grown. The spineless pods stay tender up to 6" long. They are less than 1" in diameter and nearly ridgeless. They have a velvety texture and a fascinating silvery-greenish-white color.

White Velvet is a very productive okra for late summer harvest. This wonderful American heirloom was introduced in 1890 by Peter Henderson & Company.
