Okra 'Annie Oakley OP' is an open-pollinated variety of okra known for its productivity and compact size, making it ideal for both home gardens and commercial production. It is a dwarf variety, reaching around 3 to 4 feet tall, which makes it suitable for small garden spaces and containers. The pods have a mild, slightly grassy flavor with a characteristic slimy texture when cooked, which is popular in dishes like gumbo, fried okra, and stews.

This variety produces a heavy yield of tender, spineless pods that are light green in color. The pods are typically ready for harvest at around 2 to 3 inches long, although they can grow larger without becoming tough. 'Annie Oakley OP' matures relatively quickly, typically in about 52 to 55 days, allowing for early harvests in warm climates.

Okra thrives in hot weather, and this variety is particularly well-suited for warm climates due to its heat tolerance and resilience in dry conditions. This variety is popular for its compact growth, high yields, and ability to adapt well to different growing conditions, including drought-prone areas.
