Our friends at Novick Urban Farm in South Philadelphia are refugees and immigrants from the Karen state in the mountains of Burma\/Myanmar, and they grow this variety now each year for their special dishes. After first trying to substitute spinach, and then trying various types of roselle leaves, finally, they found just the right one, which originated in their homeland. They shared this seed with us, and we sent it to our friends at Frog Song Organics in Florida who were able to regenerate the seed in their extra long growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary photo by Adam Forbes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42-60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 87% on 05\/5\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \/ harvesting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost in order to get a head start on the season.
