Growing Rosella, also Queensland Jam Plant, Roselle

View the Rosella page

I recently tasted a non alcoholic drink called Bissap (Aftican) and it was most refreshing, further research discovered that the 'African flower' this drink is made from is the Rosella flower. I was most excited about this as I have grown two plants of Rosella last year, made jam and the plants died. I am really keen to purchase more plants or obtain seeds and propagation instructions.
