Flower identification

This plant was in the garden when we purchased the house. I really like the looks of it, but have no idea what it is. Can anyone identify it? Thanks for your help.

How lovely. Your plant Is justicia carnea (juss-TISH-ee-uh KAR-nee-uh), a.k.a. flamingo flower.

Thanks so much Juneroses! I've asked neighbors and friends, but no one knew what it was. Now I'll be able to do some research on it, and possibly move it or trim it back as it's not as happy as I think it could be. You've given me the tool to I needed.

You may want to stake them, Michelle. They tend to get blown over in storms and if that happens sometimes the main stem will break and you will lose much of the plant, and, of course, the flowers. Your pictures are very good. They look healthy. I'm sure the butterflies are enjoying them.

As in Phlox subulata. Creeping Phlox is also known as Phlox stolonifera which is a totally different shade tolerant ground cover.
