Product Description

Named the cranberry hibiscus, for obvious reasons, is also known as the African roe mallow, maroon mallow , Mahogany Splendor, or red leaved hibiscus. In contrast to its tropical relatives, this rare hibiscus specimen is very hardy, enabling it to tolerate colder conditions. In addition to its stunning cranberry foliage--which resembles that of the Japanese maple--and lush pink/maroon flowers, this vigorous specimen also has larger and longer-lasting flowers than other members of the hibiscus family. Its young leaves are used as a vegetable and flowers are used to make teas and other beverages. The plant also has several medicinal applications.

NOT CRANBERRY HIBISCUS

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

Two of my seeds are sprouting a week after they were first planted. They are in direct sunlight with a 30% desert sand mix (don’t fret it you can’t get sand this incredibly fine. If not, don’t worry about it. Coarse sand won’t help.)

Update:
The plant is not about two feet tall and is definitely not the cranberry hibiscus that I grew up with. It’s possible that it’s some other variety. Either way, it’s not the plant in the image.

I received these seeds about three months ago and all five came up and are five foot tall. I topped two by cutting in half and they are doing great and I am trying to find a place in my yard for them. Love them and probably won't bloom this season but I can't wait to see them next summer!
