Lysimachia: Common name: Loosestrife. 

Propagate by division at anytime in spring or autumn.

Lysimachia ciliata "Firecracker": Bronze red leaves and starry yellow flowers throughout the summer. About 2ft - 2ft 6in tall. Fills a large space in moist soils (invasive but useful in the right setting!), better behaved in dry soils but still needs curtailing each spring.

Lysimachia ephemerum: Waxy blue-green leaves and tall spires of white flowers in late summer getting to about 3ft tall. Does well in dry semi-sun.
