I have only come across this Plant on Saturday 7th of April 2018 at my Eldest Nieces Place ! She gave me 3 Okra Pods ! Now I Googled it but where ever in Youtube , all I get is American input and not Australian ! I am guessing here now , Margaret , but I reckon one can grow this Plant pretty well all Year round and have it sheltered for the Winter in a Pot and while the Weather is nice and Sunny , put the Pot with that Plant in it outside and bring it in again in late Afternoon ! I am going to try this as soon as I get some Okra Seeds to Plant and try ! I have yet to try this Okra in my Cooking ! By the way , I live in NSW on the East Coast where we do not get severe Winters ! Port Stephens Area !
