Red Burgundy Okra – The "Tried and True" Showstopper for Vibrant Crimson Pods and Edible Landscape Beauty
Shop the highest quality Red Burgundy Okra seeds for a garden that is as beautiful as it is productive. If you want a variety that stops people in their tracks, Red Burgundy is the "Big Kahuna" of colorful vegetables. Developed by Texas A&M University, this 1983 All-America Selections winner is famous for its striking deep-red pods, burgundy-colored stems, and leaf veins. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this heirloom because the color is not just skin deep—it brings a wonderful flavor and tender texture to your kitchen, though the pods will turn green when cooked.
In the garden, Red Burgundy is a dual-purpose superstar. It is a fantastic companion plant for peppers and basil, and its dramatic height and tropical-looking foliage make it perfect for "edible landscaping" near fences or the back of garden beds. Like all okra, it thrives in the sweltering heat and produces more the more often you harvest. Whether you are pickling the bright red pods to preserve their color or slicing them into a summer stew, this variety is a reliable and stunning performer. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination and color consistency, ensuring your harvest is a radiant shade of crimson.

Red Burgundy Okra Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Okra is a tropical plant. Sow outdoors only when the soil is very warm (at least 70°F) and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 60°F.
2. Preparation: For faster results, soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to soften the hard seed coat. Choose a full-sun location with fertile soil.
3. Sowing: Plant 2-3 seeds per spot, 1/2 to 1 inch deep. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin to the strongest plant.
4. Care: Keep the area weed-free. Water deeply during dry spells. Harvest the pods when they are 3-4 inches long; if they get too large, they can become woody.
5. Pests and Diseases: Corn earworms and aphids can occasionally target okra. To prevent wilt and rot, ensure your garden has excellent drainage and avoid over-saturating the soil. Rotating your crops annually is the best defense against root-knot nematodes.
