Dear Helen: I’ve been enjoying hibiscus flower tea from a local health food store. Can the plant that produces the flowers for tea be grown in our gardens?Yes. I have found two seed sources for the plant: Hibiscus sabdariffa. I’ve not grown it yet, but I do drink the tea often. It’s become the favoured post-dinner tea with my pot luck group. I often have a litre bottle of it, lightly sweetened with honey, in the fridge for a refreshing drink.
There is a photo of the calyxes on the website of Truelove Seeds, which lists Hibiscus sabdariffa as “Doc’s North Florida Roselle” and describes it as an earlier producer of flowers than most strains. Both Renee’s and Truelove are American companies that ship seeds to Canada.
