Okra

Clemson Spineless Okra

Louisiana Green Velvet Okra

1988 All-America Selections Winner! 60 days. Abelmoschus esculentus. Open Pollinated. Red Burgundy Okra. The plant produces high yields of 6 to 8" long burgundy okra. It is a striking heirloom variety prized for its vibrant, deep-red (burgundy) pods, stems, and leaf veins, which contrast beautifully with green foliage and pale-yellow, hibiscus-like flowers. This variety has deep-red stems and green leaves and would be great as an ornamental plant. Pods can be harvested up to 8" long and remain tender. Great for making fried okra, soups, stews, gumbo, and casseroles. An excellent choice for home gardens and specialty market growers. Developed by Leon Robbins at Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina. A variety from the USA.
