Here's an easy one (I think). I used to know what it is, but my memory isn't helping me at the moment




Thank you,

Joy

It's difficult to see the colour and exact form of the flowers, a good close up of flowers and leaves might help. The form reminds me of Mertensia but that's a stab in the dark, most of those are blue I think.

Maybe a Symphytum? I was thinking of Symphytum grandiflorum..

It looks like "Comfrey" - S. grandiflorum to me also. Joy has a photo in the database showing a closer view of the leaves and blooms:

Dwarf Comfrey (Symphytum grandiflorum)

The flowers do look like Symphytum, I'm not sure about the leaves. The one which has invaded my garden has large leaves but there must be others.

There it is! I told you I used to know it. Thank you! It's terrible what getting old does to the ole brain.

Mine does have smaller leaves then the photo in your link Janet, I'm wondering if mine is actually another cultiver?

The popular name of Symphytum grandiflorum seems to be Dwarf Comfrey.. maybe this photo will convince you Joy?

I'm convinced now! Thank you Myriam.
