Heirloom Vegetable, Herb & Flower Seeds

Hibiscus or Jamaica or Roselle is a perennial that is grown as an annual in more temperate climates.

This Terroir Seeds exclusive strain matures much earlier than others, in as little as 100 days, when others have yet to set any flowers.

The paper-like blooms give way to the bright red, fleshy calyces which are made into jelly, syrup or wine. Dried, the calyces are widely used in herbal teas (the Zing in Red Zinger Tea), imparting a bright red color and a tart flavor, the original and all natural version of Kool-Aid! Roselle is attracting the attention of food and beverage manufacturers and pharmaceutical as a natural food product and as a colorant to replace some synthetic dyes. Has a laundry list of health benefits including lowering blood pressure.

Disco Belle Hibiscus has beautiful extra large white flowers on this herbaceous perennial that grows to 8' tall. Single, hollyhock-like flowers 4-8" wide are carried on robust, unbranched stems in late summer and autumn.

Grows best in moist, organically rich soil, but will do very well in average garden soil as long as the soil is not allowed to dry out. Regular deep watering is needed, such as a drip system. Will tolerate some shade, but wants full sun and good air circulation for the best flowers and strongest stems.
