Tropicals & Tender Perennials: tropical hibiscus from Lowes, 0 by sundry

I was there this past weekend, and had to buy this poor deformed hibiscus - you know how it is when they look at you so sad . . . .

Anyway, it's growing sideways, like it was knocked over for a long time before anyone noticed, and it grew like that. I'd like to get it growing in a more normal shape, but I'm afraid that if I prune off the variegated foliage, it might come back green.

I have no idea what cultivar this is, as it was only labeled 'Hibiscus Assorted'.

Any advice appreciated . . .

PS sorry for the lousy picture, the wind is blowing today.
