The roselle hibiscus planted back in March is yielding fruit (lots of it!) and we are enjoying every bit.

Harvest roselle about 7-10 days after it blooms and the pointy red calyx around the seed pod is just over an inch wide. The seed pod is fully grown but still tender. To avoid damage to the branch it’s best to remove the calyx with clippers.

Harvesting roselle calyces early and often increases the overall yield of the plant.We love drying it for tea and making jam - roselle is also finding its way into other recipes. Links to the recipes are on my blog. Looking for more information about growing roselle? Head to my blog https://growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-roselle-hibiscus-growing-jamaican-sorrel/

Happy harvesting! #roselle #rosellehibiscus #Jamaicansorrel #Floridacranberry #Hibiscussabdariffa #roselletea #rosellejam
