That flower looks like a salvia. There are so many to look thru though to get the right one.

I looked around and found 1 native to Russia, Salvia glutinosa. It looks like yours except for the yellow flowers. But I did some digging and they come in all shades of yellow and some whitish. Yours might be a hybrid of it too.

Is yours sticky to the the touch? Your leaves match too to Salvia glutinosa.

Thanks ! Yes, it's sticky to the touch. And the phone camera changed the real color of flowers, those are dim yellow. Then it's Salvia glutinosa indeed. Appreciate your help.
