Can anyone identify this Pink flowering shrub. It stumped my nursery man. Pink tubular flower spikes grow in a cluster like a fountain at the end or the branch above two opposite leaves perpendicular to the flower cluster.. About 25 tubes per cluster of flower tubes. Each tube has a fall and a hooded petal with two black seeds hanging near the top with a third hair above it on the end of the petal. Each tubular flower has long leaves supporting the tube. Shorter sepals inside the outer leaves. Leaves are long straplike, green mostly opposite but some in between on woody stems like a hydrangea. Some more or less woody. Dentate ruffled edges. Grows in shade or part sun . Long lasting cut flower. Found thriving after a year of total neglect. Thanks, Susan
