WSA Rameez,

Roselle does grow in Pakistan according to the book "Flora of Pakistan" http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx? ... =200013718

Distribution: It is common in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is difficult to state its native home. It is cultivated in Pakistan for fibre which is white, soft and silkys. In quality it is said to be equal to jute and may be employed for all purposes for which jute is suitable. The seeds are fed to cattle and poultry, and sometimes oil is extracted which is useful as a lubricant. Various parts are also said to be medicinally important.

Its Urdu name is sabdriqa or lalambari ; and lal-ambari, patwa or laalambaar in Hindi. More details here: (http://www.bepls.com/may2012/10.pdf)

I have not grown or purchased this plant before.

Regards.

I have grown it and used it as well, unfortunately due to negligence on my part the seeds were destroyed by fungus... it is a very easy plant to grow in summer.. does not survive winter....

Izhar did you grow it from seeds? If yes where did you get the seeds?
M Farooq, I have read this too that is why I was wondering about hibiscus growing locally, I have asked a few people but they did not seem to know about it.

[Izhar]
