The red colour tends to fade slightly when cooked, but the flavour remains delicious.

How to grow
Okra needs full sun, free-draining soil and real warmth. Soak seed overnight and sow it 15 to 20 mm deep, 40 to 60 cm apart, once the soil holds 20°C and frost has passed. Water steadily, go light on nitrogen and feed potash from first flowers.
