    I could easily be wrong because I'm not sure enough, but it looks a bit like Bergamot /Bee balm to me.

          It's a great plant! If it's happy it's near invasive, but unhappy it will do very little before a long drawn out death. I think that the one that I bought with me when I moved may just be happy!
