The Rosella Plant is a tough native equipped for dry conditions but can be tender to frost. In cooler climates like Melbourne, you'll want to keep it as an indoor plant with access to full-sun for best the results.
It's fast growing with sour tasting leaves that can be used in salads or stir fries and the seeds it produces can be continuously re-sown. The real highlight of this plant is in its super unique and beautiful fruit! With a tangy, tart and delicious flavour, its used by cultures around the world.
