Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is an annual or perennial tropical plant cultivated for its edible calyces, which are used to make tea and beverages. The plant produces red, fleshy calyces that can be harvested and dried, and is valued both as a food crop and for traditional medicinal uses.

Thrives in the same full sun, moderate water conditions as Roselle
Start Roselle indoors about 8 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 10 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 60 cm apart. It is frost-tender, so don't plant out early. Expect to harvest in roughly 150 days.
