A while ago I had a lovely tea with ginger and rosella. It got me thinking maybe I should try to grow some rosellas myself, so this season when I was offered some seed (thanks African Aussie !) I planted some and ended up with four in big pots. I kept them in pots because I was a little unsure what to expect. I didn't know how big they would get and where they would prefer to grow. I find keeping unknown plants in pots the first year helps me if I need to move them around to find the best spot for them. Next year I'll probably plant them out in the garden instead. Rosella dried for tea I am still waiting for mine to flower, even though I planted them in September, but a friend of mine had excess fruit from her plants and gave me a bag of them. I decided to dry most of them for tea, and kept a few to add to a fermented drink. the rosella flowers? I don't even know what to call them! the calices peeled from the rosella seeds...
