Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
Roselle is a fast-growing, easy-to-care-for annual plant known for its bright red calyces, which are packed with flavor and health benefits. Native to Africa and widely grown in tropical regions, this striking plant not only looks beautiful in the garden with its deep green leaves and bold red stems, but it’s also highly versatile.
The calyces are commonly used to make refreshing teas, juices, jams, and syrups, with a tangy, cranberry-like flavor. Roselle is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making it both delicious and nutritious. Young leaves can also be eaten as a spinach-like vegetable, and the seeds can be roasted or pressed for oil.
Roselle thrives in warm, sunny climates and grows best in well-drained soil. With proper care, plants can reach up to 2 meters tall, rewarding you with a generous harvest in just a few months.
A must-have for anyone who loves herbal teas, natural remedies, or simply wants to add a vibrant, useful plant to their garden.
