Looks like monarda citriodora (Lemon beebalm). As it's name suggests, bees usually really love it.

I have the same thing growing in my pots this year! Should lemon bee balm have a lemony scent? My leaves have more of an oregano type smell when squeezed.

At first I thought it is a viola. Violas (johnny jump-ups, hearts-ease) can get leggy -- they tend to flop over when they get too tall. However, a closer look makes me think it's torenia, although the foliage isn't quite the same as on mine.

Looks like my autumn fire sedum in the garden. Get orange-reddish flowers that dry to a neat red-brown when finished blooming.
