Don't want any seeds but a friend has this on their garden and VC is right, it really is attractive and quite well behaved compared to standard comfrey

I would like to try some, especially if the bees like it. It's not on the map for growing here but since it is hardy worth a try.

Can see if our Bombus Magnus like them, we just love that name and have taken to calling any white bottomed bee that.

PM your address and I'll send a SAE.

It'll be a while before I have seeds, elsie, as they're still flowering. I'll keep you some and PM you when they're ready.
There are all sorts of bees on them. I'll have a good look tomorrow - see if I can spot a Bombus Magnus.

Great thanks. x

You can just about see a bee in the 1st photo!
The 2nd photo shows why I don't need any more plants but i think they're lovely en masse. These are alongside the fruit bushes which are laden with fruit. I'm sure the comfrey helped.

I thought I had that plant but mine is only about 18inches tall...sure it’s a comfrey of sorts. Mine is also well behaved. I’ll get a photo later.
