Wow, that looks amazing! I have never seen one of those plants. Maybe someone else will know. Thank you for sharing that friend.

It's Amaranthus caudatus, Love-lies-bleeding. It comes in green and golden brown too. LOVES heat and sun.

thank you - it was a surprise in the garden this year!

You'll probably have more next year. It reseeds itself without becoming a major pain, usually.
