Okra Perkins Long Pod represents a cornerstone Southern heirloom with proven performance spanning generations of cultivation and selection. This non-GMO variety produces vigorous 5-foot plants generating exceptional yields of characteristically elongated bright green pods measuring 8 inches in length—substantially larger than conventional okra varieties while maintaining superior tenderness and flavor. The distinctive pod size and vibrant coloration make Perkins Long Pod immediately recognizable and highly valued throughout the South. The variety's exceptional versatility distinguishes it from single-purpose okra cultivars. The substantial pod length and quality make it ideal for traditional Southern preparations—soups, stews, and gumbos—while the firm texture and bright color excel in pickling and canning applications for season-long preservation. The pods maintain their visual appeal and culinary characteristics through processing, making Perkins Long Pod equally valuable for fresh consumption and long-term storage. Perkins Long Pod's high-yielding productivity ensures abundant harvests throughout the extended growing season. The vigorous plant growth and consistent pod production deliver the substantial yields that serious gardeners expect from proven heirloom varieties. The variety's heat tolerance and reliable performance make it suitable for warm-season cultivation across diverse Southern regions and warm climates. Expect mature, productive plants in approximately 60 days, with germination rates of 80% or better ensuring dependable seed establishment. With 100 seeds per packet, non-GMO certification, and our commitment to sustainable cultivation and environmentally responsible, recyclable packaging, Perkins Long Pod offers comprehensive value for gardeners seeking legendary Southern okra performance, exceptional culinary versatility, and reliable productivity across multiple preparation methods.
