Clemson Spineless (55 Days)
Hibiscus esculentus
This variety earned the All-America Award. Straight, 6-7 inch, green pods are slightly ridged and definitely spineless. An abundant producer, just a few plants are often enough to feed an entire family. Plants 3 ft. high, produce an abundance of dark green, 6-inch slightly tapered and ribbed, straight, pointed pods without spines. Best when 2 1/2-3 in. long. Fine quality and prolific. Ready to pick 55 days after seed is sown.
