This is a plant in a neighbor's garden which she and I need help identifiying.  It is about 2 1/2 feet in height, and I am not sure whether it is a shrub, or a very vigorous perennial.  She has about 3 of them side by side.  It has pink tubular shaped flowers.  It was probably cut back earlier in the season and this is it's re-bloom.  The leaves are a dull green - not glossy.  It looks SO familiar, and yet, I cannot access the name of it!  Any help is much appreciated!
