Gongura - where to get seeds?

Posted by aparna FL 10 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 05 at 2:41
| Gongura is a leafy vegetable grown in India and very popular in Southern India. While it has many culinary uses, the most popularl is the pickled version.
I don't know its biological name. Does anyone know where I could get seeds and whether it grows in S.Florida?
Thanks,
Aparna |

I beleive you are looking for Sorrel. It's botanical name is Rumex acetosa.
Seeds are available at horizonherbs.com and naturehills.com. |

Aparna,
Gongura should grow well in Southern Florida. I also have some extra seeds from last year's crop. Let me know if you need them. |

| Thanks paperwhite and gora. I just sent you emails. Chaman, I just checked on google with "rumex acetosa" as keyword. On the USD web site, http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/topics.cgi?earl=plant_profile.cgi&symbol=RUAC2 the plant is shown to grow in Alaska and the northern states. I was somewhat surprised. Thanks guys, Aparna |

"Gongura is known as Jamaican sorrel and is not the same as regular sorrel. Gongura's scientific name is Hibiscus sabdariffa. Their seeds are dark brown."

| Just a suggestion. I used to plant the stems of Gongura after picking the leaves that we buy from local grocery stores and it came very well for me. In fact i even could distribute them free to friends more than couple of times each season. Maybe you can get still them at Northgate watermarket in Devon ave, chicago(been more than 7 years ago,so don't remember the store name correctly but it is a famous vegetable market opp or across dasaprakash). worth a visit next time you plan on visiting chicago. |

Hi,
Haven't browsed garden web since december. What I did was simply plant the stems(after plucking the leaves for cooking, leave a few small leaves though) into the pot, stuck them about 2 to 3 inches deep into the soil in a slightly slanted position(like a 80 degree angle. Just used Miracle Grow potting soil and watered them. you can plant as much as 10 stems too in one 9 inch pot....haven't seen gongura in local groceries lately in ashburn or herndon, try patel bros in case you happen to go to fairfax. good luck. |
RE: Gongura - where to get seeds?
| | |
| Hi Gora Garu, Can you send me some gongoora seeds too (are they red gongoora or green gongoora?) any variety is fine. I can send you some red thotakura seeds in return. I tried planting the stems and they did not grow. I live in Northern california. |
RE: Gongura - where to get seeds?
| | |
| satya, Exactly how did you plant the stems? In what type of soil? Outside, inside, in shade, in full sun? |

| I think the safest method is to trade seedsby post with people directly instead of ordering them online as these days online shopping is really getting riskier day by day. Thanks

I am interested in north indian vegetable seeds of
Tinda
Ghiya(lauki or bhopla here it goes with OPO Squash/gourd)
Tori Ridged.
for next year. I have seeds to exchange also. |
RE: Gongura - where to get seeds?

| Gongura are easily rooted in the soil. Get a bunch of Gongura from near by Indian grocry store and plant some cuttings in garden soil.It may take 2 to 3 weeks for rooting. |

I am new to gardening and I love gongura, and i am planning to grow some this year. I wanted to know if this plant would require lots of sunlight? I live in houston, tx and my apartment is placed in such a way that there is no direct sunlight even in the balcony.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance... |
RE: Gongura - where to get seeds?

Hi rajani,
My suggestion is get into community gardening in your area, if you do not have place or have a small yard or any other reason. Check with your city. You can grow all you want there if you get a plot.

RE: Gongura - where to get seeds?

Chaman,
Sorry I am replying very late. I happen to read this thread and thought that I would correct one of the comment from you, Gongura is - Hibiscus cannabinus ( relative of Roselle) but not exactly roselle. A lot of people get confused with this.
Hope this helps. rookiegardener1 |
