This is a striking plant even in the ornamental garden. Burgundy pods follow pale yellow flowers. Okra is related to hollyhock and hibiscus. The pods turn dark purple when lightly cooked. Pick pods 12 cm (6”) and under. Because okra seeds do not germinate well in cool soils, plant seeds after the soil has warmed in the spring, probably a week to 10 days after the last frost date. 3.5g/ Approximately 65 seeds Heirloom
