Description

A truly stunning large, variegated Symphytum with grey-green leaves widely banded in yellow. It has bigger leaves and a much more vigorous growth habit than S. x uplandicum ‘Variegatum’. After it blooms, cut everything (stems and leaves) back to the ground; the plant will send out a new flush of fresh foliage.
