The Hibiscus is a small tree with impressive flowers! The flowers are spectacular and exotic, often large (up to 15 cm in diameter), with 5 spreading or wavy petals, sometimes double. Several colors are available. Here we have a two-tone flower - orange center fading to yellow. Each flower lasts only one or two days, but flowering is continuous in the warm season. Good bright light and fertilizer are essential for its flowering.
