Hibiscus is a kind of blooming plant in the mallow family. They are native to the tropics and may be cultivated as a potted plant on patios throughout the summer. Hibiscus blooms are used in the preparation of drinks and in the seasoning of dishes. They are also employed in the production of food colouring. By boiling the dark red and purple fresh or dried flowers in water, you may generate a wonderful reddish-purple dye. Huckleberries juice when extracted for dye making are typically lighter in color and will produce a lovely lavender dye.
