The plant forms an upright, bushy habit with lobed green leaves and produces hibiscus-like blooms throughout the warm season. After flowering, the swollen calyces can be harvested and used fresh or dried to make refreshing drinks, jams, and sauces. With its tropical appearance and useful harvest, White Roselle is a rewarding choice for edible gardens, pollinator plantings, and container growing in cooler climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to warm regions, Roselle thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It grows quickly during hot weather and adds a bold, exotic touch to garden beds and borders. The white-flowered form is less common than the red types and offers a milder, tangy flavor in the kitchen. Whether you are growing for ornamental interest or home harvest, these seeds provide an easy way to start this versatile plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces creamy-white to pale yellow flowers with deep red centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdible calyces are ready for harvest after blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpright, bushy growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators to the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-suited to warm-season gardens and containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hibiscus sabdariffa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual (perennial in tropical zones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, bushy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-11 (grown as annual elsewhere)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-6 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-24 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow White Roselle seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting can help soften the seed coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently warm and moist; germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Provide bright light once seedlings emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall and nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F. Choose a sunny location with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. White Roselle generally requires little maintenance; fertilize lightly if growth appears slow. Harvest calyces when they are plump and fully colored, usually about 2-3 weeks after flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 White Roselle Hibiscus seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836005024054,"sku":"FOLIA2-1694","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6667500060_55xu.jpg?v=1793097144","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/white-roselle-hibiscus-seeds-edible-calyx-blooms-25-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
