There are many species of Hibiscus, and most are grown as ornamentals. GKH has many articles on caring for these plants, which you can find here:

There is a species called Hibiscus sabdariffa which is used in beverage production under the names "roselle" or "jamaica." The calyxes of the flowers are harvested and used for teas, beverages, and jellies. Here is our article on it:
