Roselle is a type of hibiscus plant. It is commonly grown in tropical regions of the world, especially in Caribbean, India and southeast Asia. It grows best in a fertile, loamy soil that is moisture retentive and drains well. The plant also does best in soil rich in organic matter.
If the soil is too clayey or doesn’t to drain well it will need to be amended with compost and some sand. Start roselle from seed in April or in late August in well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. They take four to six months to mature.
In Khmer, it is called Mju L’morm or Mju Prek (ម្ជូរល្មម or ម្ជូរព្រឹក). Recently, some farmers in Cambodia grow them to serve the local market. Many people are surprised and interested in the marvelous taste of roselle tea and drink.
