This is the correct roselle/hibiscus cultivar for harvesting the calyxes. Plants are bushy with green leaves and stems. The flowers bloom and then fall off revealing a swollen calyx that is harvested to make roselle jelly, syrup, or tea. Since cranberries do not grow well in Florida, many make roselle jelly which tastes very similar to cranberry jelly. This plant goes by many names such as Florida Cranberry, Indian Sorrel, Jamaican Tea, Maple-Leaf Hibiscus, October Hibiscus, and Red Sorrell. This is an awesome crop to grow in hot climates as it is a heat loving tropical plant. The young tender leaves are also edible and best used mixed in with other salad greens. 

Please be advised that there is another plant that looks very similar to this one, but it is not the cultivar needed if you want to harvest calyxes. This other plant is called false roselle. It looks just like true roselle but the all the leaves and stems are burgundy in color. 

Roselle grows great in regular Florida native sandy soil. It doesn't have many pests or diseases. It loves full sun and get get as tall as 6FT. It is perennial ion zones +9. If you are in zones 8 or below, it will require either protection during the winter or grow in a pot and bring in doors.
