Symphytum officinale, a
perennial herb approximately 1m tall, originating in Europe, grows
wild in damp locations and is characterized by coarse white hairs
throughout, giving it a sandy feel. Radical leaves have long
petioles, and on-stem leaves are alternate and long, oblong-shaped,
with entire margins. Stem's upper parts bear cymes, which are purple
to white flowers that bloom facing downward; corollas are
bell-shaped with tips cleft in five. Bloom time: May-September. |
