Kostival

Symphytum grandiflorum will bring light even to the darkest corners of your garden. This perennial herb is characterized by creamy, tubular flowers that appear as early as April and gently contrast with dark green, hairy leaves. It is an ideal choice for planting under mature trees, where many other plants fail to thrive due to lack of light and root competition. Here, the comfrey will create a continuous, vigorous undergrowth reaching a height of 20 to 40 centimeters. Besides its aesthetic function, it also fulfills an important ecological role, as its early flowers provide valuable food for waking pollinators. The plant is fully frost-resistant and does not require any special care or support. Keep in mind, however, that this is a species that is poisonous and not intended for consumption, but it will make a great show in the flowerbed.

Are you looking for a reliable plant for problematic shady spots? Comfrey 'Hidcote Blue' is an excellent choice that will transform darker parts of the garden into a beautifully blooming carpet. It originally comes from moister and shady forests, which is why in the garden it will most appreciate partial shade and humous, well-drained soil with a regular amount of moisture. You will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be planted straight into the selected permanent location. Comfrey grows to a height of around forty centimeters, needs no support, and is fully frost-hardy down to minus thirty-four degrees. You will love the 'Hidcote Blue' cultivar mainly for its early spring flowering. During April and May, it covers itself with bell-shaped flowers that have a gorgeous light blue shade with a slight transition to white. It is precisely these flowers that act as a magnet for the first spring pollinators, providing them with a very valuable source of nectar after a long winter. Gardeners like to use this perennial in the undergrowth of taller woody plants or on the edges of shrub plantings. Although the flowers are not suitable for cutting into a vase and the plant is poisonous to humans, its benefit in the garden is still huge. Care for it is minimal, and with the exception of occasional interest from slugs, you will not have any worries about pests or diseases.
