Hibiscus Manihot

10 seeds

Abelmoschus is best treated as an annual in the UK.  Huge 15cm hibiscus like yellow blooms with a maroon central blotch. They do need heat to get going but a 1.8m Abelmoschus plant with side shoots covered in these gorgeous blooms is achievable in a single season from seed. Very fast growing in heat, the large, attractive leaves can be used in salads, stir-fries, soups or other dishes. 

Sow on a sterile seed compost, and cover with vermiculite. Keep at 20°C to 25°C Germination in 2+ weeks. Sow early for large enough plants to flower in the first season or overwinter in a frost free area.
