Rosella is an attractive annual shrub to 1.5 m high with large, lobed reddish leaves and attractive yellow hibiscus-like flowers.
Rosellas are easy to grow, with few pest problems, hardy and productive.
Most soil types are suitable, provided they are rich and well-drained.
Plenty of water is needed to maintain growth, flowering and fruit development, mulching is beneficial.
Three to four plants is all that is needed to produce a good crop.
Plants normally begin to crop when about 3 months old and cropping may continue for 9 months or until the first frost.
The fruit is ready to pick about 3 weeks after flowering when they'll be 2 - 3 cm across at their widest part. #growingrosella #rosellajam #myveggiegarden
