1988 AAS Edible - Vegetable Winner
Okra Burgundy
Judges scored Okra Burgundy for its higher yield, plant uniformity, unique color and improved quality. The pods should be harvested at 3 to 4 inches when they are young and tender. Burgundy presents a pretty contrast between the plant’s green leaves against the burgundy stems, branches, leaf ribs and fruits—and a pretty display of yellow-cream flowers.
