Looks like ludwigia palustris

Staynow · 12/05/2022 16:51

Looks like St John's Wort to me.

JeanGabin · 12/05/2022 16:58

Agree St John's Wort (hypericum) 

AncientAzalea · 12/05/2022 17:00

Just googled and don't think it's either of those but thank you.

It's sort of a trailing plant.

Some kind of fushia?

rainbowunicorn · 13/05/2022 13:42

Lysimachia

AncientAzalea · 13/05/2022 15:00

None of these are right from what I can tell. Will post again when it flowers! Thank you all.

It looks like a self sown Mimulus. Sometimes they can last through the winter, if sheltered.

CorsicaDreaming · 14/05/2022 10:21

Could it be a type of honeysuckle?

Beebumble2 · 14/05/2022 10:31

A fuchsia doesn’t have yellow flowers.

colouringindoors · 14/05/2022 14:32

Lloks a bit like a Japanese honeysuckle.

Are the flowers like this:

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 14/05/2022 21:15

I also thought honeysuckle

adhdpunchbag · 15/05/2022 07:32

@rainbowunicorn has it. Lysimachia congestiflora.

WildGeece · 15/05/2022 07:36

It's a hypericum of some description, e.g.www.thompson-morgan.com/p/hypericum-orange-flair/45050TM

adhdpunchbag · 15/05/2022 21:32

Hypericums have much larger leaves which are much more shrub like that the soft leaves in the photo. The stems are woody too. Lysimachia.

Monty27 · 15/05/2022 21:36

Might it be a Potintella?

Not honeysuckle. I love the one I have in my garden! I'm checking each suggestion so thank you x

Whoop! Found it. This photo is exactly it although a couple of the images on google search didn't look right.
Thank you all.

They don’t call it yellow loosestrife for nothing. Tough as old boots and quite invasive. It will take over a flower bed.

It's been pretty well behaved so far! Three years in there I think and it's stuck to its corner!
