Compact Jambalaya okra plants are both fast growing and early maturing. Once the weather heats up, Jambalaya really takes off, first bearing ornamental, hollyhock-like flowers soon followed by high yields of uniform, crunchy green pods. Pick when young and tender so you can enjoy okra lightly battered and fried or stirfried, stewed or pickled. Jambalaya okra is a hot weather crop that has become a tasty favorite far beyond its original home in the South.
