Hibiscus sabdariffa var. sabdariffa - also known as 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.

Seeds are certified organic.
