There are several similar plants - comfrey for one - but it could
well be a white variant. It might be worth propagating if it is,
but I doubt that it will make your fortune.


Propagate alkanet? What kind of madness is this? I'd sooner feed it some
tasty RoundUp!

I thought I had cleared my garden of the stuff (which my wife calls "those
ugly cabbages"), but this year it's back with a vengeance :-(
