******* Hello---I am a Certified Master Gardener. *******
What you describe could be one of the following.
1) Canna
2) Astilbe
3) Croton
These are limited guesses, based on your limited description.
Contact a University Botanic Garden. Make arrangements to take a leaf and/or flower in. They will be able to tell you what it is.
I sincerely hope this helps.
