Hibiscus - Dark Red Teatime Red The Hibiscus Teatime, 'Hibiscus sabdariffa', is a robust, shrub-like annual that is attractive as a hedge or in a border. The red base of the flower is used for tea, juice, sauce, jelly, wines and pies. Hibiscus sabdariffa is widely grown in many areas of Asia, Africa and America. The fleshy red, cup-like, 1 inch base of the flower, called a calyx, is used to make cool drinks and tea. Teatime is very similar in color and taste to cranberries. The flowers begin to bloom in October. This plant is also called red sorrel, roselle, Jamaican sorrel, Indian sorrel, Queensland jelly plant, sour-sour, lemon bush and Florida cranberry. Plant in the spring after the last frost when soil temperatures are warm. Teatime Hibiscus prefer deep, rich, fertile and well drained soil. They should be kept evenly moist. The fruits can be harvested about 10 days after the flowers appear, while the calyces are still tender and juicy.
