Everything I grow here in south FL I grow in 20 gallon containers. I have 2 Roselle plants from the seeds you sent to me. One plant is ALL green leaves and red stems with red calyxes and white flower pods starting to open. The other plant has "autumn" like leaves mixed with red and green and orange color leaves. This plant has red calyxes also but the flowers are a pink color and not white like the other plant. I keep both in the same place with my other milkweed varieties, basil herbs. Had to stake them up because we got some high winds from Hurricane Dorian and didn't want the plants to bend and break..they make it okay along with the other plants. Will definitely save seeds from both plants and try it again next year. I fertilize both with my Tomato-tone and banana peels.
