Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Fifth Dimension' have flowers with a dark red center, gray petals with a border that is orange-yellow when the flower opens and turns bright yellow as the day progresses. This variety produces flowers that are 7 inches (17 cm) wide.
Like all Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, it should be grown in full sun with plenty of water and fertilizer for maximum flowering.Hibiscus needs to be watered abundantly as soon as the soil is dry to the touch. It likes to have a high relative humidity, so it is necessary to think about increasing the humidity level with a humidifier in winter in our houses, where the air becomes dry because of the heating. In such situations, it is possible to observe the fall of the flower buds and to see the leaves turning yellow. We advise to put it outside in the summer when the temperature is mild enough and to bring it inside at the latest at the end of August. Butterflies and pollinators will be attracted by its large flowers. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis are rather fast growing, but hybrids like 'Fifth Dimension' grow a little slower. In their natural environment, they become quite large shrubs. If they become bald or too large, they can be pruned. Keep in mind that since the flowers are at the end of the branches, pruning will delay flowering, but it will come back.
