Russian Comfrey-Today's Favorite

I first saw this plant last spring up in Vermont and loved the way the variegated foliage looked with the other spring plantings up at Cady Falls. So, of course I had to try one. The plant, Symphtum x uplandicum ' axminster gold',  is related to borage. It seems to be very winter hardy and came right up this spring. Starting as a rosette, it's already about 3-4 feet tall with large variegated leaves and is beginning to flower. After flowering, it can be cut back and new leaves will form.
