Eden Seeds have Rosella seeds available at present and you can order online. I grew them in my hydroponics last year and made my first rosella jam since I left the tropics. You need to get them started as soon as possible to allow enough time to fruit before it gets cool.

hello i would like to hear about your hydrponics set-up. we are hoping to get students growing rosellas in individual hydrponic pots made from recycled plastic bottles, but not sure how to start. did you raise your seeds in soil first, then transplant into the hydroponics? thanks

In temperate climates I'd say don't bother, I live in Melbourne and my plant only got to about 15cm tall and the leaves were too sour to eat, no fruit on plant. They need a long hot growing season.
