Burgandy plant with brush-like flowers

Burgand Brush Plant (?)

Burgand Brush Plant (?)

This flower came up in a flower bed in which I had planted an old packet of old-fashion mixture. It was not there last year. The plant stands approx. three ft. high. It started with burgandy leaves and then the flowers sprouted from the middle of the plant. I have a picture of the plant before blooming which you can review upon request, if that is helpful. I live in a rural area of Zone 5 & the plant gets full sun daily planted in regular top soil. The flowers remind me of bristles on a brush but are small flowers with little fragrance. I would appreciate any help that you can give me in identifying this plant.

Love lies bleeding

I planted this pretty plant at one time and found it to be a very invasive plant. It would come up every year travelling through out my garden bed. It did make a grand statement and actually grew quite tall but when it went to seed, it went to seed.

is it an amarynth, I wonder

Others have identified this plant as love-lies-bleeding but have you ruled ou amarynth?
