Okra Seeds - Red Burgundy
Add a vibrant splash of color to your garden with Red Burgundy Okra seeds. This high-yielding annual variety is celebrated for its stunning, slender burgundy pods, which are most tender when harvested young, ideally under six inches. While the rich color fades when cooked, the flavor remains delightful. These seeds are grown by small farmers in Tennessee and thrive in full sun. For optimal growth, direct sow seeds after the last frost in warm soil, about half an inch deep. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production from this productive vegetable.
