Description / Hibiscus Roselle Organic Florida Cranberry
Organic Roselle Florida Cranberry Hibiscus brings together ornamental beauty and edible harvests in one impressive warm season plant. Large arching stems are lined with attractive green foliage and adorned with delicate light pink flowers in late summer. After flowering, the fleshy red calyces develop and can be harvested for teas, jams, sauces, and other culinary uses. Its combination of colorful blooms, edible harvests, and vigorous growth makes it a distinctive addition to ornamental and edible gardens alike.
Roselle Hibiscus fits naturally into cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, kitchen gardens, and mixed borders where its bold size creates a dramatic focal point. The soft pink flowers attract bees and other pollinators while the large habit adds height and texture among flowering annuals and perennials. Pair it with ornamental grasses, salvias, zinnias, and other sun loving plants for a colorful late season display.
Plant Roselle Hibiscus in full sun and average well drained soil for best performance. It thrives in a range of soil types, including clay loam and sandy soils, and benefits from consistent moisture during active growth. Hardy in Zones 3 through 10, it can reach up to 6 feet tall and 12 feet wide in a single season. Harvest the colorful calyces after flowering for ornamental appeal and culinary enjoyment. In USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 8 through 11, it can be grown as a herbaceous perennial. In Zone 3 through 7, it is a rapid growing annual. USDA Organic.
