Okra Seeds, Bowling Red Okra

Bowling Red Okra, Minimum 20 seeds per package.

These heat-loving plants produce beautiful red, grooved, straight pods with a full-bodied flavor that okra lovers find utterly delectable. The plant grows approximately 7 to 8’ tall.

I planted this variety this year and it produced heavily and has such beautiful flowers, the pollinators love it.  I enjoyed the change from the green color okra.

To enjoy more tender okra, pick the okra when it's roughly 3" long. This variety of okra is a heavy producer that can be picked regularly.
