I was in the same boat. Big plants but no flowers. Now i have fruit everywhere and around 50-60 flowers everyday. Central QLD. Seamed a few weeks ago when the temps dropped a little they started to flower. These are bushes i grew from my own seeds from last season. I have another 4 bushes grown from seeds i bought from Ebay. 2 of these bushes have only just started signs of fruit in the last 2 days. Yours may flower real soon, depends on your climate/temperatures. I made a jar of rosella jam yesterday. Looks like another 100 jars coming up lol

You may have too much nitrogen in the soil so leaf growths is excessive at the expense of flowers? Add some potassium

You may have over fertilised it or grown it out of season. Plants will grow and grow until nutrient starts to run out and then they will go to seed to reproduce themselves.

Can one grow rosella aquaponically and how large do the plants get?

Bundaberg is sub tropical climate zone, read up about climate zones in the blue tab at the top of the page. At the top of the page for Rosella you will see the months to plant, the big capital P. Just be careful with the current wet weather (14 inches for Feb so far) we are having. Maybe start them in some potting mix or a good draining soil combo. I live Coral Cove.

I have 11 big healthy rosella plants. No fruit or flowers are showing. Bit worried. Grown from seeds from last years plant as well as some seeds i bought off Ebay. Planted in trays Sept and transplanted into garden Oct 2019. Plants have grown quite big but are not flowering. Is it the extra heat this year? Will they still flower?

Hi Clive, my Rossellas are pretty much at the same stage and I'm not expecting any flowering until the early early dry season perhaps late April.
