Also known as Florida cranberry. Tastes just like it but comes in the form of a hibiscus plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) with its stunning flowers. They used to be planted as hedgerows in St. Pete and elsewhere in the "early days" since they quickly grow into a 4 or 5 foot shrub. You harvest the fat red calyx after the bloom falls off. Substi

Oh my goodness! The roselle plants are so thick and lucious looking right now. I could have probably planted fewer than I did, but they are gorgeous and I can hardly wait to see how they produce their little gems. I've been eating the leaves raw and cooked, I'm a big fan!! Thank you.
