Description of Roselle: · Highly antioxidant, it is popular in other countries where it's used to lower blood pressure. · A red dye is used from the calyces, and a cranberry like jelly can be made that already contains 3% pectin. · Makes an excellent red, cranberry flavored tea than can be sweetened and is delicious. · Boil a few cups of water in a pan and just after it starts bubbling, shut the heat off and throw in a handful of just picked Roselle calyces. (The fleshy outer part after removing the inside seed pod) · Let this mixture sit on the hot stove for 5-10 minutes until the calyx are nearly transparent. After the liquid has cooled enough to drink, add raw, natural, local honey and stir. · We drink this warm as a healing tea at the end of the day but it can be served cold with ice as well. The leftover softened calyx when sweetened a little with honey makes an excellent treat! In the Garden: · Plant seeds a half inch below surface. Plants are quick to germinate; Keep warm and moist being careful not to over water. This is a tropical heat loving plant and when germinating the seeds, you should keep the temperatures between 80-90 degrees and the soil damp for just a few days. Keep in a well-lit area and feed once a month. · Seed will arrive packed inside our 'Zipper bag with Silica Beads ' – Seal bag. They are intended to be stored in the freezer to protect and preserve your seeds, providing many years of excellent germination rates. · Use some seeds now and save the rest to use year after year. You can even collect seeds from your own harvest.

Only a few seeds sprouted
I planted these seeds in small pots early in the spring but I think only one or two came up. I don't know why though. I ended up buying Roselle seeds from the person that I've ordered in past years which did much better in sprouting. I don't know what the difference in the seeds was or why there was a difference. So that's the only reason for the two stars -- these seeds didn't sprout/come up when planted.

Hibiscus tea, anyone?
Very good germination rate and the seedlings are plenty healthy when they come up. I'd recommend these.

They are poking thru the soil. Took about 2 weeks to germinate. They seem healthy and strong.
