Hibiscus sabdariffa (4") | Roselle (4")
Annual. 5 ft x 3 ft. Sun to part shade.
Roselle, also called Jamaica (j is pronounced like an h) is used for refreshing teas and medicinal tonics. The calyx, which is a waxy deep red, is dried and used to produce a deep red colored drink - even without sugar it adds a pleasant sweetness and a brilliant red color. Three plants generally yield about 1/2 lb of dried calyces. Make sure to give the plants space in the garden to allow for optimum harvest. The growing tips and young leaves can also be eaten, and are often used in jelly making - about 3% of their weight is natural pectin. Leaves and flowers are high in vitamin C.
