Sometimes called Rosella, Hibiscus Sabdariffa is native to the tropical belt of Australia and is thought to have been brought to the northern shores by Indonesian fishermen thousands of years ago – it’s a fast-growing plant that’s rich in vitamin C and quite different to the ornate (and non-edible) European garden variety. Grown and harvested without pesticides or chemicals, they’ve been named as ‘Wild’ Hibiscus by the founders of the company that first farmed them in the Blue Mountains of Queensland. Now that their popularity has grown, and needing to fulfil a worldwide demand, the Wild Hibiscus Company chases the sunshine across Australasia, enabling rural farming communities to gain from this rapid-growing flower that can take as little as three months from planting to harvest and can be easily alternated with other food crops that will benefit the region.
