Symphytum azureum - 2026

Symphytum azureum is a vigorous perennial with large, rough-textured, dark green leaves forming a dense clump. From late spring to early summer, it produces spikes of vibrant blue, bell-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage, adding colour and architectural interest to borders, woodland gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its attractive blooms also support pollinators such as bees, making it both ornamental and ecologically valuable.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Symphytum azureum is hardy and low-maintenance. Cutting back after flowering helps maintain a tidy habit and encourages fresh growth. Its combination of striking blue flowers, robust foliage, and wildlife appeal makes it a versatile and reliable choice for enhancing summer interest in a wide range of garden settings.
