I live in Tropical WA (above broome) and the rosellas grow like wildfire-huge busheswith numerous of what I am told are really big flowers, if anyone needs some seeds let me know and if your state will allow them in , I will send you some.

Hi Simone, I live in Cairns and would love to have some seeds if you can send me some. I love rosellas but, for some reason, they don't seems to be popular here. Just about everything grows here though. Many thanks.

Hi Simone, I would love it if you could send me some Rossella seeds. My father loves the Rosella jam and we have to go around various markets to look for the home made stuff. I would love to be able to grow and make my own for him. My email is phantanaphon@hotmail.com Thank you so much!

Hi Simone, I would love some seeds please. I was over your way this time last year and saw the rosellas there. At the time I had no idea that I would be looking for seeds a year leter. My Mother used to grow them and make jam and she passed away in May and as a tribute to her I plan to grow rosellas on my property so I can think of her and remember the times we spent growing the plants, picking the fruit, separating the seed pod and eating the reward at the end. Thanks for the offer.
