I have not found the roots to be invasive at all. They tend to form a main tap root with tiny roots branching out from it.

No Rhonda here in the last 50 comments. Start with good rich free draining soil. Add compost etc before planting. Plant at the recommended time. Water regularly - 3 times a week, longer waterings in summer.

good day wondering if you could help me .i have planted 21 rosella plants ,all were growing very well. then 5 of the healthy plants shriveled up and died .at this point the others are doing well but i am concerned.the only thing i can think of is overwatering.the soil is workable but has clay deeper down. thank you.

Here suggests tropical and sub-tropical, you are temperate. I suggest you check the soil moisture before you water each time. Have a little scratch in the soil down 50-70 mm. This will tell you if the soil is wet or has dried out. Little plants a small watering each day or so, when plants have established a good root system less water, like each 2-3 days, depending on soil type and whether winter or summer etc.

How long could I expect a rosella plant to live in central Qld. Are they annuals or what?
