I have grown rosellas first time in years, thought the plants were dying off but have been flowering and have already picked some for jam, cant remember if we used save the seeds and harvest again!!! Or do the plants continue on? Thanks

Presently have 3 rosella plants in have havesred twice, both after flowering, and now noticing that the plants are re-shooting buds again, now. Last year only havested once last year and pulled the plant out. But this year I am going to leave the bushes and see what happens.

We have 4 healthy looking Rosella bushes in our garden loaded with red calixes. Are these the ones we pick and make jam with? We thought it was the fruit following. Please advise by email as soon as possible. It would really be appreciated. Many thanks, Dieter and Jeannie.

Hi. I am growing rosella bushes for the first time. I planted these as seedling about 4 to 5 months ago. They are all about 1.5m+ in height and gangly. Is this OK and will they fill out. From memory the one's my mother grew were not so tall and bushy. Any suggestions?

I'm wanting to know when you harvest the rosella fruit to make my jam. Before/after flowering, what to look for or any other hints. First time I've grown my own bushes. Normally bought the fruit.
