Large, red stemmed and leaved unknown plant | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This plant is currently about 2 1/2 ft tall. Has long narrow leaves and I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help?

Georgiakat Unregistered says:

It looks just like my Celosia spicata ‘Flamingo Purple Feathers’. It’s an annual that reseeds itself generously.
