Join us as we learn about growing and using Hibiscus Sabdariffa. This plant originates from Africa and is commonly known as Roselle or Jamaica. This easy-to-grow, heat-loving annual is part of the Mallow family and is considered to be a versatile plant. In this class, we'll discuss the many benefits of hibiscus, how and when to grow this crop, along with the powerhouse of nutrients that this wonderful plant offers. This is a great class for seasoned and new growers.
