Customer Tips & Reviews Rosella
WELLINGTON POINT, QLD
Rosella
I was gifted Rosella jam by a neighbour. I recalled my mother making it when I was young and she grew them at our farmhouse in northern NSW. My wife loves making jam so we thought we would try our hand at growing some. I planted them in a well drained spot, have kept them well watered and fertilised. They are thriving.

Native food plant. I once bought a canned jar of these and used them in cakes or in glasses of champagne. Can't wait for it to bloom for the bees.

In the tropics plant about october and harvest from May onwards. I grow the ordinary rosella, the black rosella which is a deep magenta colour and a realy good size and the super rosella which is also extra large here in Townsville.

In the Caribbean we call it Sorrell. And we make a drink with it. Now that I'm in the U.S I get it dried in the market and make drinks throughout the year.
BUNGALOW, QLD, Australia
Great Jam. This Rosella plant got so big it over grew where my Daleys Grafted Kohala Longan tree is planted so had to hack it back, still got lots of fruit. I place the seeds in a pot and just cover with water, bring to boil for 30 minutes. Then strain...
MOUNT GRAVATT , QLD, Australia
It is a beautiful looking little shrub. I can feed the leaves to my bunnies and I can't wait to make jam out of the 'fruits'. It is also great for a seed saver!

Bardon, Qld, Australia
I bought 3 plants that all had fruit about a month ago, but I wasn't sure when to pick them so they went bad. The the tips got covered in aphids. Then after one very cold night all three plants suddenly died (frost in Brisbane?). I can see a few shots ...
