HIBISCUS 'Roselle' --Hibiscus sabdariffa-- Vine Rare Texas Native AgaveWe grow a lot of beautiful ornamental hibiscus, but this one is really special! It's a pretty blooming shrub around 4 7 feet tall. Ten days after the flowers bloom, a brilliant red calyx forms over the future seed case.

The leaves can be cooked to make a traditional Myanmar curry (or used like spinach). Other cultures use this plant
