Okra Red Burgundy is an award-winning heirloom developed through rigorous breeding at Clemson University, earning All-America recognition when introduced in the late 1980s—a distinction reflecting exceptional quality and performance standards. This non-GMO variety produces striking deep burgundy pods reaching an impressive 8 inches in length, combining ornamental visual appeal with substantial culinary substance. The distinctive pod coloration and impressive size make Red Burgundy immediately recognizable while delivering the tender texture and superior flavor that define premium okra quality. The variety's dual-purpose character distinguishes it from conventional okra types. The visually stunning burgundy pods create ornamental garden displays rivaling dedicated landscape plantings, while simultaneously providing abundant harvests for diverse culinary applications. This combination of aesthetic sophistication and practical productivity makes Red Burgundy exceptionally valuable for gardeners seeking varieties that perform multiple functions simultaneously. Red Burgundy excels in traditional Southern okra preparations—soups, stews, and gumbos—where the substantial pod size and tender texture contribute meaningfully to dish quality. The robust pod structure maintains integrity through extended cooking, while the distinctive coloration adds visual interest to finished dishes. The variety's heat tolerance and consistent productivity ensure reliable harvests throughout extended warm seasons. Expect mature, productive plants in approximately 60 days, with germination rates of approximately 80% or better ensuring dependable seed establishment. With 100 seeds per packet, non-GMO certification, and our commitment to sustainable cultivation and environmentally responsible, recyclable packaging, Red Burgundy offers comprehensive value for gardeners seeking award-winning okra performance that combines ornamental beauty, exceptional culinary quality, and reliable productivity across diverse growing conditions and preparation methods.
