I got some hibiscus seeds from tmseeds.com this year but I have NO idea if they’re the tea/edible sort. Maybe one of the forums at gardenweb would know?
Well, that’s been my problem too. I have been doing web searches, but so far nothing definite as to the exact scientific name of the hibiscus used for tea.
I just found this. Hope it helps!
