G'day Everyone! Had a ton of fun creating this video - thanks for your support, you awesome people! Link to my rosella article and jam making here: selfsufficientme.com/fruit-vegetables/how-to-grow-rosella-make-it-into-jam
I'm from US and can't find Rosella where do you get your seed
@@kathleentwedt8728 look up rosella hibiscus. I'm finding them on E-Bay, Etsy and several other sites. Here's a link to one seller on Etsy.

Self Sufficient Me my father's people (some from the kuku others from kakwa tribes) use it for beverages, hot and cold sweetened drinks, sometimes fermented and sweetened to make a house wine. Learnt this from them
Thanks mark you and you simple instructions have inspired me to start growing some food .I'm not particularly confident in the gardening department but am giving it a go .my grandchildren who live with me are even trying some of the things and for a child with autism this is monumental can't thank you enough .
Kathleen - they sell Roselle seeds at baker creek heirloom seeds. The same thing, just a slightly different name in the us.
This is not fair... almost everything can grow with the amazing Australian climate.
Greetings from France the place where we grow baguettes
That's funny, Xavier. If only I could pick them off the branch. They do grow down from overhead trellises, I presume. 🇦🇺 Expat, close by.
You could grow these in France, for sure.
It's really not fair...he can sing too!!
😂
Haha
In India, we eat the leaves. It is called Gongura. The leaves are sour and tangy. We use it in dal, lamb curry, chicken, pickle and chutney. My family loves it ❤. I now know that it can be made into jam. Thank you!
Do you have recipes for the leaves?
really? which part of India are you referring to please? I'm from Goa and don't remember roselle growing anywhere in the region where I lived.
@@josefadesouza4851 The leaves are widely used in the states of Andhra and Telangana
@@estherglory7916 thank you for replying
@@estherglory7916 Hello?? Do you have recipes for the leaves??
In Jamaica - West Indies its called Sorrel, We use it to make drinks. It's our favorite drink especially at Christmas time. The best time to harvest them is to wait until the calyx has opened up and then its easier to get them off. After they have opened up you can use the shaft of an old umbrella and push the seeds out.
In the Caribbean we call it sorrel. It is used mostly as a drink.
Yep..
Yes, here in Suriname also. You make a syrup which you thin with some water and serve it cold
Lol we call it Jamaica and it can be a tea or candied.
We use it for jams and sauces too
Yeah, it's great as a topping for cheesecake too.
We have it in the Southern Africa, Namibia. We normally just throw the seeds and it grows naturally at least for five years. It is one of the best eaten spinach for both humans, chickens and goats. We also dry the leaves and store it for later use, it works best for hangover too.
It can live for 5 years? That's great! I couldn't find anything on the Internet about its life span (I live in the tropics, where it won't die off because of frost). Does it bear fruit each year as well?
Never heard of this or seen this plant before! Thank you for the introduction, enjoyed your over-dramatised planting, haha!
Cheers!
Hibiscus
Ever had "Red Zinger" herbal tea? Roselle calxes (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is the primary flavoring agent in "Red Zinger" tea.
@@MirrimBlackfox No, I haven't tried red zinger tea, I have seen it, will have to try it now - thank you 😊
ruclips.net/video/geG2V2A_jsM/видео.html
MsSixty? It is a natural herb for bringing down blood pressure, if you have high blood pressure. You can drink two to three cups of rosella tea per day. It is good for assisting with kidney infections too. It has numerous other uses, but jams, jellies and teas are just a start.
You are the Steve Irwin of Gardening, you are a funny man, great information, and your Videos are not boring.
Thanks Sir, I love Rosella. In my country Vietnam the people will cook sour fish soup with rosella leaves, make juice or dried jam with the roselle fruits in your hand and make tea with pink flowers .
My husband was backache in 4 years. Then when we drink rosella juice in daily of 8 months then he never backache again .
Thanks for sharing your wonderful video
Thanks for the hint on back pain!
Thank you for these tips!
Did he drink it like a tea?
Your like the Steve Irwin of self sufficient gardening :)
watch the dragon fruit ones he is amazing to watch
Crickey! 😂
...there it is!
Couldn’t put my finger on it.
Thank you!
Actually thought I was watching Russell Crow there for a while....Love the vid!
@@warrenhart698 Russell Crowe if he'd stayed in shape!
#6. If you are picking as they come to size, it's ok to separate and freeze the seed pods and flesh as you go - easier to make one big jam once; or for when your unreliable auntie who has all the jars doesn't deliver on time.
Nice, in the Sudan it's referred to as Karkede, my father's people (some from the kuku others from kakwa tribes) use it for beverages, hot and cold sweetened drinks, sometimes fermented and sweetened to make a house wine. Learnt this from them
Same in Egypt!
Wish I knew how to ferment
I had bought a bunch of this for the herbs because of the sourness ,I add it to dal or pea soup. after taking most of the leaves I decide to experiment growing the stem and wallah they sent out roots soaking in water after i scraped the bottom of stem, they even stared to produce flowers and fruit while in the water. I so excited thats why I checked youtube and came across your channel. Thank you now I'll check out how to make jam.
I'm growing Rosella for the first time here in North Carolina, USA. I can't wait to try it.
After watching this video every couple of months since it came out, I have finally ordered some seeds and will be growing my first rosellas this spring!!!
Great tips!!
I've got the seeds, now rosella jam, here we come!! ❤
Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS), commonly known as Roselle, has a rich history of traditional uses and is recognized for its diverse pharmacological properties, including antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and more. 👍
Now you're growing a ton of things I've never even heard of Mark! Loved the epic harvesting scene. Great video as always :)
When I was a child in Zimbabwe, my mom started growing roselle and we'd make jam. I loved the jam. I recently hunted for the seeds here in South Africa, paid a lot for 5 seeds and only 1 has germinated😢 I'm looking after that baby like it's my child😂 I just want to get some more seeds.
We have this in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 been growing it since I was a kid. We use it a lot for drinks and cocktails around Christmas time! I love your video!
i first saw rosella as a jam at the sydney easter show i was hooked. I bought some at a local organic farm here in the outskirts of Brisbane last year. I wanna grow it now :) I love your channel and my partner also listens haha
Angharad R but what does it taste like?!
a good wise man: "a happy wife, a happy life", a big red thumb for YOU and for your videos.
I'm pretty excited, my seeds have sprouted, and I'm hoping they grow well!
Best of luck! It's a very versatile plant and one of our all time favs 🙂👍
I absolutely love growing rosella! I had a fantastic crop last year at our previous property. Unfortunately, I lost my window to plant because of our move back to Louisiana this spring but I will definitely be growing it again next year. Rosella is my favorite herbal tea
How do you make Rosella into a tea
I tried growing some of this last year for the first time. I had never heard of them. I had 2 plants and now I'm hooked. It's better than cherry koolaid! Lol. I have 8 growing this year. I cant wait to try making some jam! 😊😋
Hi, I have 4 growing now for about 5 months but I only have big leaves, no flowers at all. Did u experience that?
@@millicove yes. It blooms later in the season.
@@em286 thank you ❤❤❤
it changed my life too! after lunch, i now drink a tea with this and lemon, ginger, cinnamon, and honey.
Came here for the gardening, still here for it and the humor is great.
If you’re not against eating kangaroo...
Kangaroo steak With sweet potato mash and rosella jus is incredible. It’s a really posh dinner on a budget. We were watching Mark Olive and I worked at a garden centre so dad suggested I grow Rosella so we could make it into a jam for the recipe. No joke, it was 7 months in the making for one dinner. It was worth it 😂❤️
How do you use it with this steak? U have a recipe for a side roselle?
Oops. Sorry. You made a jam! So, this can be the equal to the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving?
I wish I could give an extra thumbs up for the song at the end 😘. Gotta love your sense of fun.
You’re the best! Never heard of this. Totally a Toto fan. Favorite line: “well I’ll be buggered”! 😂😂 Wishing you were my neighbor...♥️
Wish you lived in Adelaide or could give tips from time to time on gardening in SOUTH AUSTRALIA .
Can u please export that Roselle in Uganda
And in Australia, what state are u in?
Hi Mark!
I can’t thank you enough for posting this video about Rosella. I never would have known about it. We are in Florida zone 10a. We grew some from seeds and just had a bumper harvest! We made jam, juice, and Jamaican Sorrel Chutney ( highly recommend giving this a try if you like heat)! Thanks again!
I never thought of putting them in raised beds! I usually stake them but that's a fabulous idea! Great video, as always.
I'm so happy and appreciated you posted this video. This is one of my top favorites and I have no idea how to grow it. I was from an Asia island where rosella is very popular with making as dried fruit, tea, etc. Even just seeing its flowers, they are so beautiful. Thanks!
My first year growing Roselle. I plant to start mine indoors, in Feb/March--when I start my tomatoes and peppers--etc. I'm hoping to move them into the greenhouse with the other crops then out to the property as soon as danger of frost has passed in our region. (Middle Tennessee). TY for this video!! Goooosh I love gardening/farming!
I love watching your videos!
Your humour and positivity and fun Aussie accent!
Makes me want to move to Oz!
And I love using hibiscus to brew kombucha!
Mark thank you for this video. It is my favorite one yet, although I have many many other favorites of your videos, this is my absolute favorite. Because, I grow it too, in Oklahoma. I learned so much about the calyx I didn't know because while I grow them to their beautiful tree stage, the season isn't long enough I don't think, but I know if I got them going indoors earlier, I might get at least some of the deep dark red beauties for a little tea. I will still grow it though. Right up there with growing Borage. You truly are a gift to us that love to grow things. The very best to you and your family!
I am so glad you do these lessons. I have always wanted to do Rosella! We are on a creek - that has flooded in the past, so your raised beds are looking very good to me!!!
Hi all the way from the USA. Thanks for another great video. I'd never even heard of Rosella before...but now I definitely want to try and grow one or seven!
I was just telling my fience' about how much I love your channel. Not only do I learn something new on every video, you're always in an upbeat mood which makes watching the vids a pleasure. Thank you.
We know it as sorrel in Jamaica and it is used to make a traditional Christmas drink. The caylyx is boiled with ginger, cloves and cinnamon. It is often prepared a few weeks before consumption with a good lashing of Jamaican rum. Add sugar to taste.
The plants are upright, even with a heavy crop. Perhaps a different variety.
Well if I just didn’t grow my first Rosella and isn’t it Christmas time!
Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you Mark for the awesome information in each video. Very entertaining to watch as well!
Hey Mark! I saw your video two months ago, and now going to plant some Roselle´s in my austrian garden on 700m above sea level. I started the plants one month ago, kept them in the brightest, warmest place in my heated greenhouse, and now they look fantastic, with two to three pairs of leaves. So fingers crossed for another warm long summer, as we had the last years, can´t wait to see, if I get some worth mentioning harvest from it.
Love rosella, one of the fave plants in my FNQld garden. Rather than pick all at once, I take a few of the best from each plant most days and they just keep coming! Easy to dry, a few minutes in a barely warm oven. Always lots for tea.
Also I boil the seeds for pectin in other jams and marmalades. Not a strong flavour, to distort the other fruit, lots of great setting pectin
I used to grow a lot of these plants when i was 10years old + but we only used to cook the leaves as it had a distinctive taste.I grew them from cuttings (they were sold as branch cuttings which we removed the leaves) and they do really well.But yeah,I had no idea the fruit could be made into jam.I usually discarded them.
G'day Mark! Its' now on my list for next year! I thought about it for this season, but time with restraints, I'd have to start them in seed flats in Feb. God bless.
Hi Mark this is the first time I hear of Rosella! I've never tasted the jam so I just ordered some seeds to try... I'll try to keep them indoors this winter until we get a hothouse. Thank you for the tips as always a great video. Best regards, cheers!
I started looking for Rosella after I saw your video on making Rosella jam. Darn hard seeds to find here in the states, but I finally did and out of all the seeds I planted only one came up. I'm happy to hear they're finicky, I was pretty bummed and couldn't figure out what I did wrong. I'm planning to try a second go. Looking forward to that jam!! Thank you for introducing me to this plant!
I love Toto as well and though i am a 1987 baby so i heard that song "Africa" as well, though in my year, this song was an "oldie goldie" i guess..... but thanks to my dad, i love to listen to music........and also thank you for the video sir!
it looks so pretty, the color and the shape and the way the plant looks with the buds
Wow es gratificante ver los frutos. Me encantan los vídeos de usted, yo soy de Puerto Rico y aquí podemos sembrar todo el año. Felicidades por sus plantas.
I love seeing new plants coming from different climates. Coming from a cold climates from the high mountains myself I love to see those that come from tropical regions.
my late grandfather had this plant growing at the back of our house in Samoa and we watch our grandmother make jam from this plant. Still searching if anyone in Samoa are growing this Rosella plant. Thank you for the video, brings back memories of our late grandfather.
Thank you for the great advice on growing rosella iam definitely going to give it a go next summer.
The quality of your video is wonderful. Thank you for what you do.
This was my first summer growing hibiscus, and it loves Central Texas weather! Thanks for the excellent video - thrilled to make the jam.
For the past 5 weeks I have been buying Rosellas from the Rapid Creek market here in Darwin, Australia and cooking the Rosellas...2 cups petals, juice of one lime 1/4 cup sugar. It's wonderful with plain Yoghurt!! This is a great video...very Australian, love it!!!
I saw this plant in my city and salvaged the seeds of the drying flower!!! I didn’t know u can make jam out of this and i love jam!!!!! Thank you!! I will be planting them soon here cuz it’s gonna be summer 🤩🤩🤩
Sorrel!!! Lovvveee it! I live in the Caribbean, so I'm not really into the jam, but the juice is to die for. Take the fresh petal off the seeds, bring some grated ginger and cinnamon to a boil, add the flesh petals, let that boil and then take it off the fire and let it sit for a few hours or just overnight. Strain, add sugar to taste, chill and it's good to drink 😍
LOVE me some Roselle. Need to get my seeds out and get them planted. It's starting to get hot here in Texas. Great video. You always make me smile. :)
I've order some seed. Hope to get by this monday. In Houston, Texas
You are so good at talking about plants, now i'm convinced i need to buy roselle seeds too. ty. cheers
I watched your video over 7 months now! I have two rosella at 5 gallon and blooming today in Globe Arizona. Our Sunday night will drop cold to 49F and Rain next Monday and Tuesday! The day time will 60F. So I have to cover something for couple years! Winter is 50~35F The end of December have snow and gone next day! (1 day only!). January and February is cold 45~32F. Thanks
Haven't thought about Rosella Jam in yonks. Nice memories associated with it. Grandmas and fetes and such. Nice vid.
I put one in a pot 2 years ago and brought it in on cold nights. Its still a lovely plant and as tall as my rain gutters.
I grew it for the first time ever this year, and it exploded!! I'm so excited to try them!
🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the laughs! And the great information. I always learn something new when I watch your videos!
Just recently bought a jar of Rosella jam at a farm gate in Kerry with an honesty box. Delicious!
We call that "sorrel" in Trinidad, and we drink it traditionally at Christmas time. We also make jam and sometimes ferment it into "wine".
G'day Mark! You've inspired me to try to grow heaps of Rosella! Hopefully there will be some to harvest here in the more northern climate. God bless.
Tip: put seeds in water. Those tat sink are usually good and germinate.
I’m gonna try growing rosella this summer. Thanks for the information
I saw this in Ras kitchen and got interested with its pretty color. They make it like a drink there with ginger. What an interesting plant.
Hahaha. Toto was singing about "Rosella" this whole time... Who'd known? 😂😂😂
I love love love rosella. We used to have it in our backyard and we make jams and syrup with it.
I recently harvested ours, we have them out the front Of our house. Mostly because they look good. Then we make cordial. Remember to use an apple corer to seperate the centres and the edible parts. Oh and consider getting a second apple corer that you squeeze to be a smaller size. That way you have a small corer for the small rosellas.
I have never heard of this fruit/vegetable before.
BS Catcher me either! What is it compared to?
@@TxgrlnGa good question. Mike?
@@TxgrlnGa probably red hibiscus tea flower
It is red hibiscus
Just bought some rosella seeds! Can’t wait to grow them. It’s such a cool looking plant
Great video, as usual! We grow hibiscus in the States, but it isn't this variety. We make jam and tea. Very medicinally valuable. Thank you.
jharbo1 I live in Florida and growing this! Grows really fast!
Which hibiscus do u use? I just bought this one to grow as annual
I never heard of this plant before! Thanks from Mississippi.
You are a wise old 🦉. I always enjoy your videos and I learned a lot. Thank you so much.
We are now 18-5-2024 your video is still the best I have seen thanks made jam 3 years ago turned out 💯 make more 😀
just started my seeds again indoors in tennessee. such a yummy plant!
I love the epic music when harvesting hahaha. Thankyou, I have a rosella plant and didn’t really know what to do with it- this is very helpful :)
What a great video - never knew about this plant. Recently subscribed to your channel and Im really appreciating your videos. Hi from Canada!
Ok, you have got me hooked. Just ordered the seed recently. You have given me so much info. So helpful!
Are you going to show us how to make that jam? I sure hope so.
Blessings galore to you.
It's no wonder that you have 555 K viewers. The content is always "something extraordinary." I haven't seen Rosella since Mum grew them in the backyard when I was a about 8 and that's a while back, now. That summer we had Rosella jam . Really good tasting. That was the one and only time. Reflecting on some aspects of my childhood recently, this name eventually came to mind and then the search started. This Vlog that came up just now, ( creepy, isn't it?!) in the RUclips algorithm, is the first bit of really detailed information I have. You certainly are, as I said, extraordinary. Thankyou.
I'm growing a variety called Thai Red Roselle in Canada (Toronto area) and just got my first harvest with 2 months remaining in the growing season, so you can grow them this far north. They seem to do fairly well in indoor grow light conditions compared to other seedlings. By the time I transplanted them, which was 9-10 weeks after they germinated, they were in 2-3L containers and 30cm tall with several side shoots. The last couple weeks they were hardening off outside, which is longer than necessary, so I could've planted them earlier (late May rather than mid-June). In northern climates you want varieties that are not photoperiod dependent (which is the case with Thai Red). My variety isn't as droopy as yours, it's sturdy like okra, but with more side shoots and smaller leaves.
I got 3 in a bed atm and I’m excited to see how they go there just starting to bud now
Your singing at the end stole the show! Love your vibe.
Love it. Never heard of it before! BTW--you have an excellent presentation style, very enjoyable.
Great video. I grew Roselle for the first time this year and although I got a modest harvest I was not sure what to do with what I had except munch on them right off the plant. Thank you for the great tips.
I did the same thing since I only grew 2 plants... But one of the comments above says when you harvest a few at a time, while waiting for the big flush before fall, you can freeze them to process all together when you're ready. I wish I had known that
We have it here in Suriname too. We make syrup out of it also. Never thought about jam💯💯👍. Loves the sun 🌱
What beautiful, otherworldly fruit! they should do well in zone 8 in Texas...I hope.
WOW!! That sounds like an amazing fruit. and I Love the odd and unusual I have never heard about.
Thank you! I couldn’t find much info on this topic, but now look what you’ve put together. I have “red roselle” seeds in US zone 6b and it does have difficulty the way I started the seeds.Now I will follow your tips and try again. I may not get enough in time, but I still want to attempt...
Hibiscus sabdariffa, it grows wild here in northern Australia, it needs lots of sunshine and up to 6 months to fully mature.
Hey, I enjoy your videos for some time. We grow Sorrel in the Caribbean- St. Vincent and the Grenadines to be exact 🇻🇨 ( that's what we call them) They make our very known sorrel beer commonly found and consumed during the Christmas season. We love Sorrel. I'm harvesting some as we speak haha. So imagine my joy coming across the video as I'm doing the work.
There are white sorrel as well☺️ Sorrel liquor is also very nice. Used as fruit preserve in cakes too. 😊
What a beautiful plant!
Great info here. I've never had any success with this - next year I might try again,
Thanks
I love these! Thank you for another great video.
You rock, my friend. Rosella it is :) I have to remember to put some in next spring. Ta, for the fantastic video.
I have never heard of this fruit but would live to try growing it.
Hey Mark!
I've been a Toto fan since their first album 'Toto'. 😁
Thanks for the Rosella tips!
Toto song Rosella.... I just about spit out my coffee when you said that.😅
@Morley Knight yes, it's a play on words.
