I don't think it is a coincidence that the Hibiscus Acetosella blooms this time of year. With flu and cold season upon us, this is a great plant to have around as it is rich in Vitamin C.
It is an edible plant from the hibiscus family, with maple leaf type leaves. Like I said, it is a rich source of vitamin C. This is especially beneficial to add to your winter days when you may need more of that vitamin C boost. Though not as potent, hibiscus also contains vitamin B-3 which is also called niacin, and B-2, or riboflavin. The B vitamins are known to give you more energy throughout the day, another added benefit to cranberry hibiscus.
Check out this video for information on how I propagated it.
Keep watch for recipes on how I use this plant.
Stay well!
