  • Is this Comfrey?

    I’m unsure if this is Comfrey. To me, it’s very similar but I’m unsure.

    I think that's a Verbascum.
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

        Yeah, I’m saying to myself that it’s very similar but might not be. Cheers peeps.

            Yep, Verbascum. I will take some pictures of Comfrey and post them tomorrow.

                Here you are Dynamite. The first one is Verbascum. Almost grey leaves and very soft and downy. Second is Comfrey a much brighter green and pointed leaves which are rough and scratchy. The holes are not always there but I have something that likes to eat it. Third is Foxglove grey green leaves and soft to the touch.

                  That’s brilliant peeps, many thanks, it’s much appreciated. I can safely say it’s definitely Verbascum now.
