ECHO
Originally from Africa where it grows in wet climate areas.
Description
Cranberry Hibiscus is a medium-sized, semi-perennial bush that produces edible purple-red leaves that can be eaten raw or cooked. Its flowers can be blended in tea or lemonade. The long taproots require deep, loose, well-drained soils for maximum growth. Cranberry Hibiscus is propagated from seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds may be directly sown in springtime in well-prepared soil or transplanted as young seedlings from seedbeds to field conditions. However, Cranberry Hibiscus tends to spread quickly when self seeding. The plants must be widely spaced to accommodate this species’ wide-spreading branching habits. Cranberry Hibiscus needs rainfall of at least 500 mm during growth. It is frost-sensitive and will grow in full sun, though it prefers some shade.
