Hey Digi, where are you? It could make a difference. Also, a shot of the leaves and the height....

Hi I am new to the forum and I have just moved to a new house and was wondering if you could help me ID this plant please ?

Digi.
Penta??

It looks rather like Jupiter's Beard aka Red Valerian. Centranthus ruber. Without leaf closeup as Cheryl says, it is difficult to say for sure, but the foliage looks almost right from what I can see. Toni, the flowers don't look quite right for Pentas, which have very precise
5 petalled "stars" if I remember correctly?Emilie NorCal
You can see my Red Valerian for comparison.

I second this ID.
That was my first thought as well.

I'd seen these at Lowes for 50 cents each and decided to pick some up. They have a woody stem to them and do not look like annuals at all so I thought I'd take my chances and pick them up.
Size is about 12" tall by 12-16" wide, variegated leaves, semi hardwood branching.
1024x768This one however is dirt cheap, but only because they don't have a flippin' clue what it is. All that's on the pot is "Accent", which doesn't tell much.
Anyway, thanks tons for any help.. :)
Looks like a Itea

Hey Cheryl.. Long time to chit-chat.. :)
Thanks for the guess, not sure if it fits though.
Shot with a $1 for size ref.
You will want to keep the old flowers deadheaded as it can produce a profusion of seedlings. It's a great plant to attract Butterflies! Emilie
No clues then - useful reference though.
My thought had been a variant of the Henry's Garnet. Mine has kept the tiny leaves.

I had a second thought - could it be one of the "Feelings" phlox - the red cultivar?

Nothing very scientific, just rather a guess
