Jasud (hibiscus)
Jasud, commonly known as Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), is a tropical flowering plant admired for its large, vibrant blossoms in shades of red, yellow, pink, and orange. It thrives in full sunlight and well-drained soil, making it ideal for gardens, balconies, and pots. Hibiscus blooms attract pollinators like butterflies and bees and are often used in traditional medicine and hair care. In Indian culture, Jasud flowers are also offered in religious rituals, especially to Lord Ganesha and Goddess Kali.
