Symphytum 'Hidcote Pink'

I value this form and S. 'Hidcote Blue' highly, as ground-cover between shrubs. Each makes weed-proof clusters of rough-textured green leaves. In late spring. S. Hidcote Pink' produces branching stems which unroll revealing pink and white tubular flowers. A grouping several feet across, in full flower, is a lovely site. Cut down after flowering to maintain a more manageable planting. The connection between the Hidcote comfreys and the famous gloucestershire garden is unclear.
