Crimson Elegance: The Cranberry Hibiscus
Cranberry Hibiscus (Hibiscus acetosella). This beautiful, low-maintenance and useful plant is one of my favorite plants in our Florida food forest garden. It’s a great pollinator plant, heat tolerant, fast growing for chop & drop, and the edible leaves and calyces can be used for teas, juices, and in salads.
A burst of crimson flora so bright,
In sunlit bloom, a lovely sight.
With petals soft and edges fine,
A touch of beauty, nature’s sign.
The plant, in hues of red and green,
A lovely garden, calm and serene.
Cranberry Hibiscus, bold and free,
A symbol of nature’s harmony.
