Question
Can you identify this plant. We found it in our garden in central NH. The garden is minimally tended and so we are trying to figure out what to keep and what has moved in uninvited.
Answer
Dear ach223, you've photographed a species of Symphytum (comfrey), likely Symphytum officinale (common comfrey). This is a frequently planted species that is capable of naturalizing (I often see it in ditches and other disturbed places spreading beyond its place of original planting). Best wishes.
