HIBISCUS 'Roselle' --Hibiscus sabdariffa-- Size:2 GALLON pot Ten days after the flowersWe grow a lot of beautiful ornamental hibiscus, but this one is really special! It's a pretty blooming shrub around 4 7 feet tall. Ten days after the flowers bloom, a brilliant red calyx forms over the future seed case. That red seedpod coating, peeled off and dried, is the source of hibiscus tea, and can also be used for jams and wine. The leaves can be cooked to make a traditional Myanmar curry (or used like spinach). Other cultures use this plant
