Hibiscus sabdariffa
Native Rosella
A beautiful addition to our
garden, these vague relatives of the Cotton bush have
delightful red stems, red and green leaves, beautiful cream
and crimson flowers, and finally the most visually
interesting fruit in the garden.
The seeds are very viable, strike quickly and the plants settle into the garden strongly with a minimum of fussing.
They thrive in relatively poor soil and tolerate the heat of summer with no issues.
Packet of 25 seeds $3.00

You can eat the flowers, the
buds, the young leaves, or use the flesh of the outer seed
case for great jams and chutney's. The root can be eaten
exactly the way you would eat parsnip. |
