The seeds are from our most recent harvest and are fresh viable seeds ready to sow. Growing Info & TipsCranberry Hibiscus (hibiscus acetosella), also known as African Rosemallow, false Roselle and red leaf hibiscus is a very colorful & yummy addition to your garden. I adore the pop of color that it gives and love to eat the delicious leaves. It grows well in Zones 5-8 as an annual and Zones 9+ as a perennial, sensitive to frost. It is easy to grow thriving in poorer, dry soil & grows best in full sun. The beautiful reddish pink flowers are self-pollinating and day length sensitive, meaning that the flowers bloom as the days shorten towards fall. For Sowing the Cranberry Hibiscus Seeds: Sow seeds after the chance of frost has past. Ideal germination temperature is in the 75-85 degree range. Seeds can be sown directly in the ground or in pots or seed starting trays. Sow the seeds around 1/2 of an inch deep in pre-moistened potting mix. Keep soil moist but well drained in partial shade until germination, when they can be gradually moved to full sun exposure. Seeds can take up to 14-21 days to germinate so be patient! It tends to grow slowly as a seedling in the spring, then quickly when the weather’s hot. Days to maturity is 90-120. Ideal spacing is 3ft apart. Uses, Taste & PreparationThe leaves are delicious with a mild lemon tang flavor and their burgundy red color adds a fun pop of color to salads or cooked dishes. I just love to incorporate the fresh raw leaves into out salads. Yum! The flowers are also yummy and make a nice colorful tea. Both leaves and flowers are high in antioxidants. Please Note: All of my seeds are fresh and viable. Growing plants from seeds is fun! The majority of the time it is a success but sometimes it’s not. This just is the way it is with nature and gardening. I hope you experience success with all the seeds, however because I am not there to plant them, I cannot be responsible for germination failure due to improper planting or climate conditions etc. I do include a detailed note with planting advice with your order to help ensure your success.
