Yuma Red

  • OK006

    • Abelmoschus esculentus.  Beautiful red stems and pods and gorgeous showy flowers on hefty plants that can grow up to 7 feet in a long enough season.  The young pods are tender and tasty and low in mucilage.  An NS/S volunteer named Ed was given seed of this variety in the 1980's by a family who had grown it in Yuma, AZ for many years.  Ed has since grown it in several different locations in Arizona and even in west-central Nevada, and it has grown beautifully in all those places.  From our Seed Bank Collection.

    • A warm season plant -- loves the heat!
    • Approx. 1.5g/25 seeds per packet.
    • Limit 3 packets.
  • $3.95

Productive Plants…No Pods

I grew a Yuma Red Okra along side an Emerald Okra in Phoenix AZ. Yuma Red was taller, had a THICK stem, and huge leaves; but made not one pod.

Yuma Red is very pretty as an ornamental, slightly spiky & I will try to replant again 😃
