Hibiscus query

I bought a couple of Hibiscus from Aldi today because I love the colour!
However I'm not sure if it's a perennial or an annual or how high it grows because the label seems rather generic.
I've attached a photo of the label. Can anyone answer my questions before I plant it somewhere really unsuitable!
Thanks

They are a perennial shrub but fairly slow growing. There's a couple in front gardens near me, they are both around 20+ years old and about 5' high.

They are decidous and fairly late to come into leaf in the spring, by the way.

Yep, my hibiscus have still not broken out.

Any more info on the label?

As other posters have said, they are late to show leaf each year. This was the same for me last year but, when it did finally flower, it was the best ever.
If I'd bought this from a supermarket, I would be reckoning on it being quite a small plant and so I would pot it up until it got bigger. You could then try it in different parts of your garden until you hit upon the best spot.

I have one in the front garden. It is only just showing signs of buds.

It was new in last year but was glorious. Hoping for a similar show this year.

Thanks Smile
It's in, in a nice sunny spot so I will wait with baited breath...
