Symphytum grandiflorum - 2026

Symphytum grandiflorum is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial with dense, dark green foliage and clusters of bell-shaped white flowers that bloom from late spring into early summer. The flowers rise above the foliage, adding bright colour and architectural interest to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its blooms attract bees and other pollinators, providing ecological benefits alongside ornamental appeal.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil, Symphytum grandiflorum is hardy and low-maintenance. Cutting back after flowering encourages fresh growth and helps maintain a tidy, compact habit. Its combination of delicate white flowers, lush foliage, and pollinator value makes it a versatile and reliable choice for adding early summer colour and texture to shaded or semi-shaded areas.
