Roselle, Florida Cranberry young bush. These plants were planted as hedges in the past in Florida; their lovely shape, deep green leaves and red stems make them very attractive even before they bloom

Roselle, Florida Cranberry as a hedge. These plants were planted as hedges in the past in Florida and I can't understand why they aren't more widely grown now. Super easy, pest free, no trimming!

Roselle, Florida Cranberry flowers are a deep dusty rose by mid-day when the sun is out. Attractive to butterflies (such as the sulphur butterfly here) as well as other pollinators.

Florida Cranberry Hibiscus - Bushes are full of Calyxes after blooming - ready for harvest for tea, jellies or chutneys. They do taste like Cranberry!

Florida Cranberry Hibiscus - The bees are still trying to get to the sweetness even though the flower is gone, the calyxes are juicy and apparently still smell good to this honey bee!

Florida Cranberry Hibiscus -This is the right size Calyx for harvest (don't let them get too big, they loose flavor and get more tart) to make tea, jellies or chutneys. They do taste like Cranberry!
