Abelmoschus is best treated as an annual in the UK. Huge 15cm hibiscus like yellow blooms with a maroon central blotch. They do need heat to get going but a 1.8m Abelmoschus plant with side shoots covered in these gorgeous blooms is achievable in a single season from seed. Very fast growing in heat, the large, attractive leaves can be used in salads, stir-fries, soups or other dishes.
