Symphytum grandiflorum

Used to grow this in the Midlands when we had a larger garden...good ground cover.......

I’m really pleased with how it’s spreading, perfect for me.

Mine is at this stage too. I do love it. Such good compost from it too.

Oh yes I must make some more fertiliser.
This one really creeps doesn’t it. Any idea why it gets the black leaf spots?

Mine doesn't have the black spots. I suspect it is a fungal thing like tar spot on sycamores. I thought they were holes in the leaf. To be honest the woodland area will be full of many different species of fungi all naturally occurring and I wouldn't be worried.

Thank you for that :-)
