Hibiscus grows like a weed

March of this year I harvested my first Hibiscus plants and made tea. I was impressed with the taste, the taunted health benefits and the ease of growing. I collected the seeds and planted them. Next seeding period I'll be uprooting some decorative bushes and replacing them with more Hibiscus.   No flowering during the rainy season, just plenty of green growth. Been trimming them and disposing the excess till I remembered why I planted them. "Hibiscus tea."  Actually prefer the red outer layer to the seed pods, no reason to let the leafs go to waste Hibiscus is an ingredient in many weight loss products.    10 Top Benefits of Hibiscus Leaves For Health - InetArticle
