  Two genotypes of hibiscus sabdariffa (Sudan and Jamaica) type was evaluated for the purpose of agronomic adaptability and economic traits. The experiment was done in different agro-ecologies of Ethiopia at Wondogenet and Hawassa and Qoqa by using randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on agronomic and economical traits were collected for two years from 2012 to 2013 and statistically analyzed by analysis of variance using SAS PROC GLM (2002) at P<0.05. Differences between means separated using the least significance difference test at P<0.05. The overall respective mean performance across the test locations varied from 87.13-131.4 cm, 18.8-66.83, 43.93-72.17, 95.93-159.69 g, 19.41-33.59 g, 58.7-98.06 g, 5.87-9.88 g, 2.66-4.44 ton, 5.39-9.33 ton, 16.30-27.50 ton, 1.63-2.75 ton for plant height; number of branches/plant; ..
