Plant Good Seed Organic Hibiscus Roselle Seeds for Planting: 30 Seed Packet, Edible Leaves, Dark Red Calyxes

Hibiscus sabdariffa - also known roselle, rozelle, sorrel, red sorrel, Jamaica sorrel, Indian sorrel, Guinea sorrel, sour-sour, Queensland jelly plant, jelly okra, lemon bush, and Florida cranberry - is a subtropical shrub in the mallow family. While the pale pink flowers are gorgeous in their own right, the fleshy red that form afterward are what is most typically dried for tea and used as food. Leaves are also edible and have a lemony flavor. This plant has an otherworldly appearance and is a real joy to grow. It goes without saying that the homegrown calyces are far superior to anything that can be found in the marketplace, but these seem especially more floral and fruity. Makes a great addition to lemonade or a bioregional substitute for cranberries. Plants are perennial but grown as annuals in most temperate climates. Each seed packet contains a minimum of 30 seeds. Seeds are certified organic. All our seeds are untreated and not genetically modified (non-GMO). At Plant Good Seed, we are in the business of life. All our seeds are germination tested for viability to ensure you have a high quality growing experience.
