Question
Yes, sorry I didn't include the location as it was clearly required. This is the first time I've seen this plant and was very surprised at the size of it, with it being at least 2 feet tall. It was located in Southern Ontario along the Niagara Escarpment in a open area. I thought it was comfrey. The stems are very hairy and angular.
Answer
Dear janforster, thanks for the location information. Your plant is likely Symphytum officinale (common comfrey). It has ridges of thin green tissue down the stems from the leaf bases that help to identify this plant. Best wishes.
