According to the website below, hisbiscus leaves are also edible but it doesn't indicate how much. To be on the safe side, I wouldn't offer them anymore often than the flowers. Also make sure there are no chemicals on the leaves or flowers (ie insecticides, fertilizers etc). If you just bought the plant I wouldn't feed any part of it for several months, to ensure any poisons put on the plant or in the soil by the nursery have a chance to drain out of the plant.
