Okra Super Bhindi Seeds

Despite being widely used in Asian restaurants across Europe, the crop is not widely grown, mainly because suitable varieties have not been available for glasshouse or plastic tunnel production. Testing in multiple Northern Europe locations has shown Burpee's new 'Super Bhindi' to be an excellent performer. The medium vigorous, well branched plants grow to  1.5m, and produce a prolific crop of deep green fruit that are best harvested when 7-10cm long to ensure the most succulent, tender texture. 'Super Bhindi's hibiscus like flowers bring a touch of early morning exotic to any greenhouse.

Sow from February onwards in pots. Will need heat to germinate. Plant out in greenhouse from May onwards. Do not allow the plants to get too cold as they will develop a purple tint and growth will slow down.
