Gorgeous, delicious and prolific heirloom that qualifies as an edible ornamental.

About Burgundy

When cooked, the leaves of this hibiscus relative turn a deep lovely shade of purple. Gorgeous 3-5 ornamental plants produce high numbers of tender 6-8" pods. Theres a pretty contrast between the plants green leaves against the burgundy stems, branches, leaf ribs and fruits-and a pretty display of yellow-cream flowers. For optimal texture and flavor, harvest often when the pods are young about 3" long, in about 49-60 days.
