At the risk of generalizing too much, all species in the genus Hibiscus have edible ‘okra’ pods and many of them are perennial.

I have been getting to learn my local perennial okra in another thread: [Rose hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos)](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/rose-mallow-hibiscus-moscheutos-perennial-flowers-and-okra-spinach-too/2538) The pods are smaller but the culinary quality is ok.
