Abelmoschus esculentus Origin: Western North Carolina Improvement status: Breeding population Seeds per packet: ~50 Germination tested 08/2024: 87% Life cycle: Annual We're really excited to see what comes of this super-cool red okra breeding population from Chris Smith (author of The Whole Okra) and the Utopian Seed Project team. Here's what Chris says about these seeds:"'Aunt Hettie's Red' is a Tennessee heirloom okra and my personal favorite red variety. It boasts a deep red color throughout the whole plant and pods, is a top taster in our taste tests, and grows on productive and beautiful plants. 'Puerto Rico Everblush' [shown in photo] is one of my all-time favorite okra varieties that we selected from a USDA accession, 'Puerto Rico Evergreen'. It has velvety green round pods with red blushing, is delicious, productive and very early. Plants can get very tall. I wanted to cross these two varieties with the aim of producing a solid red colored version of 'Puerto Rico Evergreen'. In
