need help identifying a plant

Posted by niccitrent ga (My Page) on

I live in Augusta, GA.

My friend gave me a plant which I potted, not knowing what it was. It seems to be some sort of shrub. She called it a "pink hotlips" but every search I've done for pink hotlips turns up plants that don't look anything like it. She doesn't know the name of it either.

The leaves are a pale green and the stems almost look like the stems on purple lantana (to me, anyway). It has very small pink flowers, which I wasn't able to get a very good picture of because the one flower it had is dying. I planted it in a shady spot, so it has not been flowering very much. I'm wanting to move it, but want to make sure I know what its needs are first.

I have 3 pictures of it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to load the pictures here. If some one can help me out with that, I'll load the pictures...

I think it's hot lips cheleone. The description of the red stems fits.
