Notes
'Carmine Splendor' okra (Abelmoschus esculentus 'Carmine Splendor') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The pods are red, high-yielding, and uniform. Its red and pink blooms appear in summer and attract bees.
Pairs well with Big Beef Plus tomato, Persian basil, and Katrina cucumber.
