Description

Cranberry Hibiscus (Hibiscus acetosella) is a stunning ornamental and edible plant prized for its deep burgundy-red, maple-shaped leaves. Native to tropical Africa, this fast-growing shrub reaches 30-40cm in containers and thrives in UAE's warm climate. The glossy foliage has a distinctive cranberry-tart flavor, perfect for salads, teas, and garnishes, while delicate pink trumpet-shaped flowers add seasonal charm. Heat-tolerant, pest-resistant, and low-maintenance, it's ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking bold color and culinary versatility.

Caring for your Cranberry Hibiscus

Light Requirements - Direct Sunlight

Watering Schedule - Everyday

Cranberry Hibiscus thrives with consistent moisture. Water deeply 2-3 times per week during UAE's hot summer months, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist but never waterlogged. Check the top 2-3 cm of soil—if it feels dry to the touch, it's time to water. During cooler months (November-February), reduce watering frequency to once or twice weekly. Always ensure your pot or planting bed has excellent drainage to prevent root rot. For container plants, water until it drains from the bottom, then empty saucers to avoid standing water. Morning watering is ideal, allowing foliage to dry before evening and reducing disease risk. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and keeps roots cool in extreme heat.
