I bought this plant last year and it came back again. I went back to the nursery where I bought it last year to get more but they weren't sure what it was and didn't have any this year. I call it my face plant. I'm pretty sure it's a cuphea, but not sure about the variety and I have searched and searched online. It's more or less a bush with long thin stems and small leaves. The bloom is small also but lots of them. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Is there a second independent garden-supply store/nursery in your area? Maybe taking a photo to this second supplier would produce a plant identification.
It's amazing to me that the folks who sold it to you don't know what it is...unless they're a Home Depot or something. *those sorts of places* generally sell only the basic plants, and a clerk may or may not know anything about the plants.
If you *really* want to know, maybe a local community college or state university has a horticulture dept/program, and someone there could ID it from a photo and/or cutting.
