Comfrey

From LoveToKnow Garden

Comfrey (Symphytum) - Suited for naturalising in open sunny places, and, when well grown in masses, their foliage has a fine effect. The largest and best kinds for the wild garden are S. asperrimum and S. caucasicum. The Bohemian Comfrey (S. bohemicum) is a handsome perennial, about 1 foot high, with, in early summer, erect twin racemes of brilliant reddish-purple flowers. The variegated leaved form of the common Comfrey (S. officinale) has striking variegation, effective in a garden of hardy flowers, and thriving in any soil.
