- Is kenaf the same as Indian hemp?
- Yes. Kenaf is Hibiscus cannabinus, also called brown Indian hemp, Deccan hemp, and Guinea hemp. It is a fiber and ornamental plant, not the drug cannabis.
- How tall does it get?
- Plants reach 72 to 96 inches, roughly 6 to 8 feet, in one season. Space them 32 to 42 inches apart so the tall stems have room.
- When should I start the seeds?
- Start indoors weeks before the last frost, or sow outdoors after frost has passed. It needs warm soil to germinate and grow quickly.
- Will it come back next year?
- It is hardy in zones 6 to 10 and reseeds itself easily, so plants often return from dropped seed even where winters are cold.
- What light and soil does it need?
- Full sun to part shade, in average to dry soil. It tolerates poor, dry ground better than most hibiscus.
- What do the flowers look like?
- Pale yellow blooms with a purplish-red center, opening from late summer into fall.
