Cranberry Hibiscus / Hibiscus Acetosella seeds

FRESH: All seeds harvested since July 2025

Dubbed “yummy leaves” by our children, our kids can often be founding scouting around the yard picking their own leaves to add to their lunchboxes.

Delicious. Nutritious. And beautiful.

Cranberry hibiscus / Hibiscus acetosella is a versatile and hardy shrub. This medium-sized sprawling shrub is quite stunning in full bloom with dark red foliage and bright red flowers, but it is also very versatile, with many culinary and medicinal uses. The leaves are edible raw or fried, and can also be steeped in hot water to make tea. Great for kitchen gardens, herbal gardens, permaculture type gardens or anything in between.
