Unidentified plant


This past spring, my stepfather gave me a division of a plant from his
garden.  It has grown to over 5 feet and very bushy.  I put it in a tomato
cage because everytime it rains, it completely flops over.  It flowered in
late summer and is about to finish.  The bright pink flowers develop as
spikes along the end of the stem.  The flowereing part seems to twist and
corkscrew.  Does anyone know what this might be?

Here's a helpful clue:  yesterday, while at the grocery store, I think I
saw it on the cover of the latest Taunton's Fine Gardening magazine.  It's
the pink one in the background.

Thanks for any help.
