Common Comfrey – Symphytum officinale

Common Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a robust native plant with hanging, bell-shaped flowers in shades of purple, pink and white. The deep blooms are particularly attractive to long-tongued bumblebees. It grows naturally along ditches, moist meadows and reed beds and is an essential nectar plant for bumblebees in wet ecosystems. With its robust character, rich bloom and high ecological value, it is a strong addition to biodiversity in any garden or nature strip.
