Flowerbuds are red, then open to pink with white at the base of the petals. A herbaceous perennial that is good for woodland planting, or moist, semi-shaded beds in the garden with humus-rich soil.Can be invasive, so remove extra plants every few years, or divide and lift.

Hidcote Pink has pink and white flowers only. A grouping several feet across, in full flower, is a lovely sight. Cut down after flowering to maintain a more managable planting. The connection between the Hidcote comfreys and the famous gloucestershire garden is unclear.<\/p>\n
