Description

Roselle
Hibiscus Sabdariffa
AKA - Jamaican Sorrel
Roselle is our FAVORITE plant on the farm!
Gorgeous white / pink or white & pink flowers start to bloom by Summer with the seed pods forming into fall.
We are very particular in when to harvest!
We pick 1 pod per week until we both agree it is time.
It grows into a bush that will get quite lanky if not trimmed frequently.
The plant is very drought resistant. We rarely ever water them!
The best part of Roselle is the wonderful fruity tea that is made from the Calyx.
The Calyx is the fruit around the seed pod.
Once the inner seed pod is removed, we dry these in the hot Florida Sun.
The dried fruit is then crumbled by hand and brewed into a tea.
Roselle & Lemongrass is our favorite home-made tea blend.
But, we have also mixed in Sage, Holy Basil and Thai Basil for an herbal drink.
This is a listing for seeds only.
We are drying some calyxes to sell also, but that will be in a separate listing.
Just the 2 of us go through about 3 gallon bags worth of tea per year.
These seeds were harvested November 2022
