You can plant the coir pot directly into the ground, which will eliminate root disturbance and help keep your plant happy. The roots will make their way through the pot and into the soil. The pot itself will decompose within about two months in healthy, watered soil.

Description

Hibiscus sabdariffa. 1.1L coir pot.

This popular, easy to grow tropical plant is a lovely addition to the garden.

The fleshy red calyxes have a tart-sweet flavour and are high in vitamin C. They can be used in salads, jams, jellies and for flavouring drinks, in addition to their medicinal uses. Harvest the calyxes after flowering.

The young leaves are edible too (often referred to as red sorrel) and can be steamed or added to stir-fries. 

The plant prefers a full sun position, in rich, well-draining soil. It likes regular watering and should grow to about 2m in height.
