It looks like a hibiscus.

Are the leaves variagated? Green and white?

yes grandmage it is , oh we have simaler names excuse my spelling lol

I have a variegated Hibiscus and your pic looks exactly the same, unfortunately I also don't know the name. I hope someone can help us both all I can remember is that it flowers late and is bluey purple colour.

oh thank you cestrian ,that sounds lovely,do you no if we have to prune them after flowering ?

Nannym, there are a lot of 'us' around Lol !!!!

Hibiscus syriacus 'Meehanii' & H. syriacus 'Purpureus Variegatus' are the two variegated varieties most frequently seen, they both have pale purple flowers.

I found a pic here and some info, I have not pruned mine yet.
