Looking for Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle) varieties
« on: October 13, 2025, 04:47:48 PM »
Anyone have any cool varieties of roselle that they're willing to share seeds from?

About 16 year ago, I got seeds from a really cool variety from CookieMonster but I never got around to replanting the seeds and then they lost viability.

Here are some pics from my harvest from 2009 or so:

In this video, the host talks to Sam from Everoak Farm about Roselle for a few minutes. It starts on the standard variety and then gets into white and black variants.

He says he got his seeds from "Seed The Stars":
