Symphytum officinale, a perennial
herb approximately 1m tall, originating in Europe, grows wild in
damp locations, 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. |
