Okra — Jing Orange Seeds

Pack size: Seed count to be confirmed. Price: ₹75 per packet.

Jing Orange is described for this collection as a dwarf okra selection with glossy red fruits and a tasty harvest. Its compact growth habit makes it an interesting choice for home gardeners who want to grow okra without dedicating space to very tall plants.
