It brings a bold tropical look to beds, borders, and large containers, and it is easy to grow from seed in a single season. Gardeners value it for its vigorous, upright habit and its vivid late-season color, along with the ornamental and culinary potential of its harvested calyces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRed Roselle calyces are traditionally used to make tangy teas, jams, syrups, and sauces, while the young leaves can be used in salads. Plants grow quickly in warm weather and may reach 4 to 7 feet tall in a long season, developing pale yellow flowers with dark centers that mature into the showy red calyces. Space plants so air moves freely around them, and harvest calyces when they are plump and bright for the freshest flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Hibiscus sabdariffa\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Red Roselle\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Annual (perennial in frost-free zones)\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, bushy, 4-7 feet tall\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 90-120 days for calyces\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 8-11 as a perennial; grown as an annual elsewhere\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 10-21 days at 70-85F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost or direct sow after soil has warmed\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 18-24 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Warm-season grower; calyces are ready when plump and deep red\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663349088392,"sku":"EXGA-1161","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_d58b7118-62d5-415a-896a-55410252bf15.png?v=1791896699","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-hibiscus-sabdariffa-red-roselle-hibiscus","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
