How to Grow Rosella AKA Jamaican Sorrel plus Jam, Tea & Syrup Recipes
Hi folks. With Autumn now upon us here in SE Queensland Australia we're starting to get a bumper crop from our Rosella bushes. These spectacular looking plants have provided us with with a number of tasty harvests that have so far been turned into jams, syrups, cordials, teas & salads. I would definitely recommend growing Rosellas to anyone that likes a bit of a fruity zing in their meals & drinks.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all,

This one is particularly interesting as they have used garlic as well.

Would be great to see you come along & say "G'Day" when we post a clip.

oh wow. I never knew that is what the Haviscus plant looks like. In Mexico we love to drink what we call ' agua de jamaica' it is delicious. We just make a tea from sun dried Haviscus flowers, add raw cane sugar and ice. it is really good. Thanks for sharing this video, I will definitely try to grow this one, cheers ;)

Best natural medicine for high blood pressure! My most favourite food on earth!

Growing rosella here in sunny Saipan, northern marianas islands on the 15th parallel. Our plants started fruiting 1 month after breaking ground, about a foot tall(daylight and dark hours are the same year round here). Just harvested our first crop of pods today, love this video and recipes, cant wait to try them. Thanks!

[Noelbluesky]

This is not only informative, but a sweet video. I'd like a recipe for cordial.

[beernchickens]

I grow in Indiana zone 7 and have made the jam also collect seeds for following year thanks for the videos please keep them coming

[Halfkine]

Aloha and mahalo for the information especially harvesting time. I planted these for the first time this year and have hundreds of blooms now.

[BenjasUberHobby]

Looks like the plants grew quite well. Looks like a good harvest. I did enjoy seeing the recipes and how you cooked them. :) Thanks for sharing :)

[roseg]

I didn’t know they had this tea/plant in so many other countries they have it in Mexico too it’s called Jamaica though 🌺🥰💗

[CynthisizerExplores]

Excellently dense and concise information

[jackicomber]

Just happen to have 10 plants up and about 6-8 inches high! Great timing!

[kothedarek]

Best Garden Show EVER!! You guys ROCK!

[amzolinek]

Great video on Rosella and I’ve watched couple of videos on this but no one mentioned that the leaves are edible as well. As this plant is originally from west Africa, we do make use of every single parts of it. Look up some recipes for the leaves 🍃 they’re called bisab in Senegal and The Gambia. In Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia it’s called sour-sour ( sawa sawa)

[AAHomeGardening]

We call these sorrel in Jamaica
It's so nice
I am just making some downstairs at the moment

[rebeccafionacornel]

Awesome video....thank you for the video and the recipes sir!

[wendyeames]

I didn't have much luck getting this to germinate until I scarified the seeds & soaked them for several hours...

[marlenychakola]

I did my first ever jam from the first harvest, following your instruction everybody love it, then my second I dry them for tea and I am going on the third making jam. Thank you for your video very clear

[bonnywagner]

A great video as always. Wanted to let you know my favorite recipe: half baked harvest has a recipe for lemongrass, basil and roselle tea that is fantastic.

[polkcellar]

Thanks RB! This is the best narrative I've seen on the Rosella. Mine are just coming up in the handy red cups. Your info will help me a lot here in zone 9B central california. It was nice to meet your wife Bianca in this episode. Best regards from this regular viewer;)

[KimClark-]

That was a really, really helpful presentation. Thank you for being so thorough about the benefits of this plant. Helped me to make an informed decision on putting this in my landscape in central Florida.
