Symphytum 'Hidcote Blue'

I value this form and S. 'Hidcote Pink' highly, as ground-cover between shrubs. Each makes weed-proof clusters of rough-textured green leaves. In late spring-early summer. S. ‘Hidcote Blue’ produces branching stems which unroll croziers of red buds changing to blue and white tubular flowers. One of the best ground covering plants but difficult to eradicate once established.
