    Pendent clusters of pale blue and white tubular flowers in April and May above mounds of mid-green leaves. This pretty pink form of comfrey is best planted in bold drifts in a moist, partially shady site. It makes excellent groundcover for semi-wild areas of the garden and a good companion for ferns and shade-loving woodland plants.

  • Garden care: Mulch with well-rotted manure in spring and dead-head after flowering to encourage the growth of young foliage.
