Posted in Permaculture Garden About the Author Morag Gamble NB: The calyx is the the protective layer around a flower – the Rosella ‘fruit’. make fibre for garden twine from the stems.use as an in-garden windbreak for a summer garden.dry the flower calyx for tea throughout the year.make a tea from the fresh calyx – similar to rosehip – fabulous colour! Blend with other herbs.add the red calyx when cooking up stewed fruit for added colour and flavour.eat the fresh flower calyx (quite tart like rhubarb) – nice added to a salad.eat the yellow flower petals – add to a salad.It has a lovely lemony taste like sorrel – a little in a salad, mostly I use it in stir fry and curry. eat the leaves – also known as Pacific Sorrel or Red Sorrel.Rosella is high in vitamin C (9 x stronger than orange).The petals, the flower calyces, and the leaves are all edible and delicious too!

The striking colour of the red flower calyx (the ‘fruit) adds such a beautiful contrast in the garden.

For vivid colour, intense flavour and health benefits, I definitely recommend planting Rosellas in the garden if you are in a warmer climate.
