This is a beautiful very tall plant getting to 3-5 feet by the end of summer. It is similar to okra but bushier with beautiful burgundy stems and yellow and pink flowers. All parts of the plant are edible but we use the red calyxes (the ripening pod after the flower) to make tea, jelly, and country wine. The petals on the calyxes are easy to dry for hot or iced tea. The tea is cranberry red and delicious. Annual
LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun
