After pruning back in July, this is the second blooming. The plant is about 3' high, grows in both an eastern or southern exposure in Zone 5 in the KC, MO area. The plant spreads fairly quickly. the yellow blossoms have 5 points.
The start was given to me by an elderly lady at a plant exchange. She said it had grown in her mother's flower garden years earlier. No one had ever known its name.

Plectranthus

This looks to me very much like a Plectranthus - they are mostly blue and purple tines, but the leaf shape, size and flower shape remind me of a red one i have.

Yellow Loosestrife?

Thank you, Wendy. I think you are right. I Googled Lysimachia and viewed many photos of Lysimachia vulgaris (Yellow Loosestrife). Some of them looked much like my plants. I don't believe Yellow Loosestrife is common to Missouri. Again, thank you so much.
