Sow 1-1.5 cm deep in warm, well-draining soil (25-30°C), keeping the bed consistently moist. Germination typically takes 7-14 days. Direct sowing after the last frost works well; transplant nursery-raised seedlings once 2-3 true leaves have formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-family:var(--font-serif);font-size:15px;font-weight:400;color:var(--forest);margin:0 0 6px;letter-spacing:0.02em\"\u003eGrowing \u0026amp; Establishment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.75;color:rgba(26,26,20,0.72);margin:0 0 16px\"\u003eSpace plants 45-60 cm apart in full sun. Roselle is a heat-loving, frost-sensitive annual — sow after the last frost date, typically April-June, for an October-December calyx harvest as day length shortens and flowering begins. Plants reach 1.5-2.5 m tall, and benefit from moderate, regular watering and a balanced fertilizer during vegetative growth. Harvest calyces 2-3 weeks after flowering, while still tender, for the best flavour and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-family:var(--font-serif);font-size:15px;font-weight:400;color:var(--forest);margin:0 0 6px;letter-spacing:0.02em\"\u003eUse in India\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.75;color:rgba(26,26,20,0.72);margin:0 0 16px\"\u003eRoselle is widely grown in home and kitchen gardens across India for its calyces, used to make Roselle tea, jams, and syrups, and for its sour leaves (used similarly to sorrel in regional cooking).
