Hibiscus is a lovely annual flower with beautiful red flowers, commonly grown in flower gardens or indoor pots.
The flowers are not just for scenic pleasure, but have amazing flavoring qualities. In Africa, Karkade is the name given to a delicious hibiscus punch. It is also a great contribution to the popular rosehip tea giving it a lemony flavor and lovely red color.

Rose hips are the berry-like fruits of the rose bush left behind after the bloom has died. They are typically red or orange, but may also be dark purple to black in some species. They are very rich source of Vitamin C and are free for the picking. Three average rose hips have as much Vitamin C as a medium-sized orange.
To encourage your roses to develop rose hips, don’t trim the rose blossoms and leave them to naturally fade and fall.
Rose Hips can be used fresh in making jelly, jam, pickles, juice, etc., or they can be dried or canned to be used in the winter, or served raw, shredded or halved in salads, sandwich fillings and desserts. Dried rose hips are also a favorite in teas and homemade potpourri.
* Important: Before using rose hips as a food source, make sure the plant you’re harvesting from has not been treated with pesticides or chemicals.
