Once a common home garden crop referred to as Roselle. Leaves, seeds, fruits, and roots are edible and can be used medicinally, store frozen, or dried. The leaves can be used cooked or raw, all parts have a sorrel\/rhubarb like flavor. The calyx is the most widely used part of the plant. Its cup-like structure is used for flavoring and imparts a natural cranberry-colored dye, harvest before they turn brown. Separate the seeds from the calyx, roast, and brew them for a coffee substitute. As a tropical plant, Hibiscus-Roselle needs full sun, well-drained fertile soil, and ample water. Grows 4-6 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e15 seeds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHibiscus sabdariffa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Optimum soil temperatures 75-85ºF.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Sowing Depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\/4” deep, soaking seeds overnight aids germination\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e4-8 weeks before the last frost. Provide 75-85ºF soil temperatures. \u003cspan\u003eSow 1-2 seeds per cell\/pot. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThin to the strongest seedling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water-soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of the suggested measurement. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTransplant after last frost,  24-36\" apart in rows 36\" apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing Outdoors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Only in areas with a long growing season.
