Kenaf: Everglades 41
(Hibiscus cannabinus)

Kenaf is an upright, herbaceous, annual plant that can reach 5 m in height. It is used for fodder, fiber, and the young leaves as a vegetable.

A short-day variety developed for latitudes between 10° to 27° N or S. If grown in the tropics, this variety will flower when the days begin to shorten, so plant it early in the season to allow for taller growth and more fiber production.
