How to grow Roselle 'Jamaican cocktail'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Jamaican cocktail is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Jamaican cocktail needs a chalky, loamy and peat-rich soil with a ph of 5.6 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Jamaican cocktail from seed

Try to ensure a gap of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) when sowing to prevent overcrowding your seedlings.

Transplanting Jamaican cocktail

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Jamaican cocktail is a tender plant.
