Roselle Hibiscus Seeds (Hibiscus sabdariffa) – Vibrant, Tart Calyces for Tea and More!
All of our seeds are saved from heirloom gardens here in the Southeast, where we focus on hardy, time-tested varieties that thrive in our region. These are open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds, carefully collected and stored to ensure strong germination. Whether you're looking to grow vibrant flowers, flavorful herbs, or reliable vegetables, these seeds carry generations of resilience and flavor.
Roselle Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa), also known as Jamaican Sorrel or Florida Cranberry, is a stunning and versatile plant prized for its deep red calyces, which are used to make tart, vitamin-rich teas, jams, and syrups. It thrives in warm climates, producing gorgeous flowers and striking red stems before setting the flavorful calyces. Both the leaves and flowers are edible, making this a must-have plant for culinary and medicinal gardens alike.
Why Grow Roselle Hibiscus?
Delicious & Versatile: The tart, cranberry-like flavor of the calyces makes them perfect for tea (like hibiscus tea or Agua de Jamaica), jams, sauces, and even fermented drinks. Young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked.
Rich in Antioxidants & Vitamin C: Traditionally used to support immune health, heart health, and digestion, Roselle Hibiscus is packed with beneficial compounds.
Heat-Loving & Productive: Thrives in warm climates and produces abundantly until frost. The more you harvest, the more it grows!
Planting and Growing Information
Scientific Name: Hibiscus sabdariffa
Growing Zones: Best for USDA Zones 8-11 but can be grown as an annual in cooler regions.
When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow after the danger of frost has passed. Needs a long growing season.
Sunlight Requirements: Full sun for best growth and flowering.
Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil. Benefits from compost or organic matter.
Spacing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and space plants 24-36 inches apart, as they grow large and bushy.
