Hi, im growing rosella for the first time this year, the bush is loaded with buds...I bought the seedling at bunnings. if anyone wants to buy rosella seeds i would reccomend Cornucopia seeds and plants. to find it easier just type in rosella to the seach thingy at the top of their page. hope it helps

I'm wanting to know when you harvest the rosella fruit to make my jam. Before/after flowering, what to look for or any other hints. First time I've grown my own bushes. Normally bought the fruit.

Hi. I am growing rosella bushes for the first time. I planted these as seedling about 4 to 5 months ago. They are all about 1.5m+ in height and gangly. Is this OK and will they fill out. From memory the one's my mother grew were not so tall and bushy. Any suggestions?
