Jing Okra

90.00

Jing Okra, often referred to as Jing Orange Okra, is an Asian heirloom variety of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) celebrated for its striking red-orange pods.

This variety is prized for its tender, spineless pods that remain flavorful even when harvested at 6–7 inches, though they’re best picked smaller for optimal texture.

Deeply lobed, star-shaped leaves with striking red veins, serrated edges, and a blend of green and purple hues.

It’s an open-pollinated heirloom, meaning it reliably passes down its unique traits, and it typically matures in about 60 days, offering a solid yield.
