Hibiscus sabdariffa
product description
A tropical shrub that thrives in warmth and sun, hibiscus is cultivated for its beauty, medicinal properties, and commercial value. A true 'natural pharmacy' in full bloom, its regal ruby-red flowers transform into a warming cup that soothes your heartbeat and calms the stresses of your hectic day.
The striking contrast of its green leaves with its crimson stems adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your garden, evoking the pride of a self-sufficient farmer providing their family with a pure, handcrafted beverage, rich in Vitamin C and refreshing at all times.
Hibiscus Let the fragrance and health of nature unfold before your eyes.
The fleshy red part of its flowers (the calyx) is used to make a beverage rich in vitamin C and known to regulate blood pressure, such as a warm tea or a freshly squeezed cold juice.
Planting and Fruiting Times
To ensure the best seedling success, here is the schedule:
Planting Season:
Hibiscus is a summer plant.
The best time to sow seeds or transplant seedlings is spring, specifically from April to mid-May, when temperatures begin to rise and stabilize between 20-26°C.
Flowering and Fruiting Season:
The plant typically begins to flower in July and continues until October.
The "almond" or red calyx (the part that is harvested) ripens by December, which is the official harvest time in many regions.
Harvest Time: You can start harvesting the calyx about 4 to 6 months after planting.
Additional Tip: Hibiscus loves sun. Direct watering (6-8 hours daily) is required, along with well-draining soil. Regular harvesting of mature calyces encourages the plant to produce more flowers.
The available height for the seedling is 40 cm. The germination method, stem size, and branching may vary depending on the shipment.
