I really like this plant; it is a vigorous spreader though and not for very small areas. It is, however, easy to control and shallow rooted. Good on rocky banks provided there's enough soil/moisture. Very dainty pale ivory tubular flowers appear in early/mid spring in Zone 6; nice contrast to the plant's coarse dark green leaves.
Medium sized hebaceous perennial from Turkey and Asia Minor.
Has ovate or lance shaped, mid-green, bristly leaves upto 10 ...Read Moreinches long. Bears cymes of very pale yellow, tubular, pendulous flowers. The buds are pinkish-red and some cultivars have light blue bands at the base of the flower. The whole cyme starts off curled like a scorpian's tail.
Flowers April-June
Loves moist but well-drained soils in sun or partial shade. Like all Symphytum, it can be very invasive in the right conditions.
