Plant id please

I wonder if anyone can identify the burgundy coloured plant in the attached photo? It was bought at a service station with no label and no-one could say what it was. Getting a bit fed up of plants being sold without being named!

Thanks

    Evidently so! It's someone else's plant.

    Thanks for the reply

    Privet, have you tried pulling it out of the pot, I dont think its real, its there to enhance the petunia and begonias.

    Lyn the photo is from a Facebook group, taken last year at  a motorway service area.

    So sorry to waste everyone's time, somebody is obviously having a joke on me! Thanks everyone!

    I take it back, the chap who posted this also posted it last year and is STILL trying to identify it. He said it was definitely real as he saw it growing over a period of time. The search continues! Someone has suggested some sort of Lobelia?

    The base leaves are lobelia-like but the manner of growth isn't.

    Hm, I thought that too. Whatever it is, I would like one!
