Code: SR30
The Wild Rosella, although not a native, has been around since pioneering days. The flower (calyx) is used for making jams and relishes. The leaves can also be used in salads or as a spinach substitute.

 The Wild Rosella grows quickly and will produce an abundance of flowers about 10 cm across. Wild Rosella is best grown as an annual and has similar growing requirements to tomatoes, needing a warm summer, and no frost. This packet contains 30 viable seeds and propagation notes.

Type your comment here.HI, there seems to be some conflicting information about Rosella flowers. I notice they're called wild rather than 'native' but then again they're marketed as bush foods. Are these native or introduced?
can you email me the answer please?
thanks, Jacqui

Rosella are not a native of Australia, they are introduced. They have been incorrectly marketed as a native. The early pioneers used them quite a lot in jam making etc and I think a lot feel that they have been around long enough to consider them as a native!!
