{"product_id":"okra-red-burgundy-200-non-gmo-heirloom-seeds","title":"Okra Red Burgundy 200 Non-GMO, Heirloom Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eBring rich color and fresh Southern flavor to your summer garden with \u003cstrong style=\"color: #006400;\"\u003eRed Burgundy Okra\u003c\/strong\u003e. This non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom is an All-America Selections winner, pairing striking deep burgundy pods with an upright growth habit that adds interest to the vegetable patch. Plants can reach roughly 5–6 feet tall and thrive in warm weather, making this heat-tolerant variety a good fit for long Southern growing seasons. Expect the first harvests in about 60 days under suitable conditions, then check plants every day or two as new pods develop. Although the pods can reach about 8 inches long, harvest them young at 3–4 inches for the best tenderness and a mild flavor that works beautifully in the kitchen. Slice your harvest for gumbo, coat it for crispy Southern fried okra, or halve the pods lengthwise and roast them until the edges brown. The burgundy color can fade toward green during cooking, so enjoy its richest color fresh from the garden.
