(Comfrey) A tough and reliable, flowering ground cover plant with lovely spring flowers and some leaf cover through the winter with clumps of fresh leaves appearing from early spring.

We plant large groups of Symphytum here in our gardens to cover areas of bare ground, encourage wildlife (bees enjoy the flowers!) and reduce the need for weeding. 

If planting Symphytum 'Hidcote Blue' to cover a large area within a reasonable time frame, we would suggest planting several at 50 - 75 cm (1 - 2 ft) apart

A tough, reliable flowering ground cover plant with some leaf cover through the winter and clumps of fresh leaves appearing from early spring.

Symphytum 'Hidcote Blue' has clusters of tubular flowers in late spring and a delicate bi-colour effect, with the pretty red buds opening to pale blue flowers.

The flowers are popular with bees and other insects. Later in the year after the flowers have faded, the foliage forms a soft and cool green carpet which is ideal for underplanting. A favourite for difficult spots in our woodland gardens!

Grows well in a large container.
