Welldales burgundy okra seeds produce abelmoschus esculentus, an unusual warm season vegetable also known as ladies fingers, gumbo or bhindi. This attractive red/burgundy pod okra variety grows into tall productive plants with burgundy stems, red tinted leaf detail and decorative pale flowers with a hibiscus like appearance. In the UK, okra performs best in a greenhouse, polytunnel, conservatory or very sunny sheltered position, as it needs warmth, full sun and a long growing season to crop well. Harvest the pods while they are young and tender, usually around 5 to 10cm long, and pick regularly to encourage further pod production. Burgundy okra is a brilliant choice for adventurous gardeners who want to grow their own vegetables for gumbo, curries, stews, stir fries and colourful home grown kitchen harvests.
