Plant ID

This has popped up in one of my bra, I'd assumed it was a foxglove type affair but now it's flowering it appears not! Any ideas what it might be please!

Comfrey?

And I'd get it out of your bra if I were you, it can be a bit scratchy. A nice cool cabbage leaf is more traditional

That'll teach me to proof read..... meant to read beds.....

Possibly comfrey - it's very low to the ground though - pretty enough so it'll probably stay!

I love it, it's so pretty...it spreads, though!

Thanks for the speedy ID

at bra! I was thinking pulmonaria which is about this time of year. You’ve got some lovely violets as well.

The little purple flowers? I'd wondered what they are, running riot but providing good ground cover.

Yes, that's comfrey (There are several species, I'm used to the smaller creeping ones rather than the tall ones). You can tell from the curling flower spikes (a bit like an uncurling fern frond, or the curl at the top of a violin) that it's in the forget-me-not family, as is Pulmonaria.

It's comfrey (symphytum) , probably the variety known as Hidcote Pink (unless the flowers have a blue tinge, in which case it's Hidcote blue!)

Bees and pollinators love it, and when it gets a bit rampant (it will!) just chop it back or pull up what you don't want and pop it in the compost. You can also make a mash in a bucket of water with comfrey leaves to use as a very excellent organic fertiliser ... be warned though, it stinks to high heaven!
