2017 AAS Winner! A unique red okra with pods that are round, not ribbed, and a brighter red than the reddish burgundy okras currently available. Red stemmed plants produce high yields of pods that have an excellent taste, good texture and are very tender. Easy-to-grow and requires little maintenance - except for the frequent harvesting, which is a great thing! Thrives in the heat and is disease resistant even in hot humid climates like the south where it's perfect for traditional fried okra. Makes a unique ornamental as aged fruit can be used in flower arrangements. Dried seed can even be used as coffee (without caffeine)!
