Keep pods removed to encourage flowering. Plants can reach \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3-4 feet high and do not need trellising. A member of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehibiscus family, Okra has similar pest issues (a favorite plant of the mealy bug) and a beautiful edible flower. Burgundy okra has striking maroon stems, veins and pods, and remains tender at their full length of growth which is almost 8 inches! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Little River Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40522961780818,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/4461\/files\/IMG_7199_cdade2a7-25f0-454d-b88f-6c26a2554e40.jpg?v=1693424857","url":"https:\/\/littlerivernursery.co\/products\/burgundy-okra-seed-packet","provider":"Little River Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
