Dark Red Teatime Red Hibiscus:
The Hibiscus Teatime, 'Hibiscus sabdariffa', is a robust, shrub-like annual that is attractive as a hedge or in a border. The red base of the flower is used for tea, juice, sauce, jelly, wines and pies. Hibiscus sabdariffa is widely grown in many areas of Asia, Africa and America. The fleshy red, cup-like, 1 inch base of the flower, called a calyx, is used to make cool drinks and tea. The fruits can be harvested about 10 days after the flowers appear, while the calyces are still tender and juicy.
