The listing, *Magical Garden* 7 Purple Hibiscus (Rose of Sharon) Seeds has ended.
Hibiscus is also known as the rose of sharon. It is a perennial in my zone (5) but it has come back yearly as I let it go to seed and it naturally resows itself. It also makes a great container plant. It can be grown as a bush or a small tree.
It is in the Mallow family. All of the plant is medicinal, and can be used as a laxative, diuretic, anti-bacterial, and because of its high vitamin C content, antiscorbutic (protects against scurvy) and a good choice when you have a cold or flu.
Hibiscus tea (which is delicious) is rich in antioxidants and protects the liver, stimulates the appetite, reduces fevers, soothes coughs and soothes and helps repair the skin.
