Doc's North Florida Roselle
Hibiscus sabdariffa. This special roselle produces earlier than Jamaican Roselle and has heavier calyxes than Thai Roselle. This population originally came from an avid gardener and high school basketball coach named Doc, who had been growing it for a couple of decades after crossing these two varieties and then selecting desired traits for his community. Frog Song Organics has been growing it for another seven years and continues to select the best plants.
Also known as Florida Cranberry, Sorrel, and Lemon Bush, the sour calyxes of this plant (the red fleshy part that follows the flower) can be used to make a red sweet and spiced beverage called sorrel or a jelly like cranberry sauce.
These seeds are treated with Sanidate, an OMRI (organic) approved organic sanitizer and disinfectant to keep from spreading fungus.
Days to maturity: 70-90
Seeds per pack: 35-45
