A better picture - would love to know what this prolific ground cover plant is, happily growing alongside periwinkle.

Think your plant might be a comfrey - have a look under 'discover' then search 'plants' for comfrey and see if yours looks like any of those.

Wow! Clever you! There is one just like it down the page! Oddly, i was only using Comfrey (aka knit bone due to its healing properties) on an inury yesterday! So excited to have it in my garden! Thanks #chrisf 😊

There are different sorts of comfrey. And I don't think this one is #KnitBone 😕

I have 'inherited' a huge garden, and am trying to identify all the plants as they appear, such as this (foreground), very pretty ground cover plant. Its usually more open, but it is raining!

You can find other like-minded gardeners by tapping on Discover and then "Popular" or "Recommended". There you will see other great photos of plants and gardens and you can of course “follow” anyone that you see there should you like to do so!

You can't add to the task list. As you add plants, if they're in the plant encyclopedia and have tasks associated with them then those talks will appear in your task list.
