Growing Instructions

Direct-sow Red Burgundy Okra seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. For improved germination, soak seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before planting. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 12–18 inches apart in rich, well-draining soil. Thin seedlings to one plant every 18–24 inches. Okra thrives in full sun and hot conditions, requiring regular watering to maintain tender pods. Harvest when pods are 3–5 inches long for optimal texture and flavor. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production throughout the growing season.
