Hibiscus leaves can be used medicinally in a tea. They are also used as a candied garnish in Mexico.

The bark of the hibiscus plant is used in rope making and the flowers can be used in landscaping to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.  

Hibiscus smells floral and musky and tastes similar to pomegranates or cranberries.
