It sounds like Ipomoea or maybe Alyogyne but neither are hardy in Britain,
though Ipomoea can survive outside in the mildest areas and has both white
and purple varieties - not sure that Alyogyne has white. Where do you
live?

Andy H got it right - it's Hibiscus, and I checked it against some pictures
on the RHS website. They also say now is a good time to prune it.

One further question - the also say that it is best suited to being West or
South facing. Yet I have the smaller one North facing. Is it possible to
move it to the South side? Or is it best to leave it be? It would look
better on the south side as well and would seemingly grow better, but I
would rather leave it be than risk killing it. Any thoughts?
