Abelmoschus esculentus
OKRA-RED BURGUNDY a Torpedo-shaped red okra is 5 to 12cm long. The fresh taste is somewhere between eggplant & asparagus. When cooked, the red color disappears & the pods turn green. Magenta stems hold emerald green leaves & intense purple pods & canary yellow flowers with amber throats. The bushy okra grows 3-4′ tall. These pods don’t turn woody as quickly as other varieties. Red Burgundy okra is a heritage variety that is tender, delicious, & beautiful! The beautiful yellow flowers also have a red tinge to them. The attractive plant grows up to 1.2m tall. Best flavor if pods are picked at 7-10 cm. Full maturity at 50-64 days.
In warm areas, sow seed directly outdoors in full sun. Plant seed 1- 1.9cm deep, every 7cm. After germination thin to 45cm apart. In cool climates, start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before planting outdoors. Keep ripe pods picked to encourage growth if you stop picking they will stop producing.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
