can you identify mystery plant?

16 years ago

This plant has popped up in my herb garden. At first I thought it might be returning salvia, which I had grown in that spot last year. The plant looked attractive. But now i don't think it is salvia as the flowers are kind of pinkish red where my salvia was blue before, Can you tell what it is?
