Is this borage?

Theres a patch of it, flowers look more bell shape than star though.

No, one of the Comfreys

Oh I thought comfrey had massive leaves like foxgloves. 
Here's another pic of it which looks quite growing

Borage has little starry flowers with dark centres 
Comfrey is what you have there.

Not all of them, some are very small plants

Thanks nutcutlet  - it looks like a variety that's ground cover. It will come in use if it establishes itself in my garden.

Thanks @Fairygirl, comfrey for fertiliser but I'll have to get some borage seeds in I think.

I've got the same one in my garden and it does very well in a shady aspect. I have mine around the bottom of some Apple trees to bring in the pollinators. It's alive with black bumblebees at the moment.

I think it's this species https://garden.org/plants/view/79128/Dwarf-Comfrey-Symphytum-grandiflorum/  and I'd suggest once you have it, you will have it until you chose not to. It's not invasive like the other comfrey ime but does regrow from the tiniest piece.

Thanks @thevictorian
It does  look like that, the leaves are slightly more rounded and small. I'll introduce it into a shady area by my damson tree and shrubs. That's good that it's more well behaved.

I think dwarf comfrey is a great plant.  I have it growing on one edge of my pond; it's dampish but not wet with some shade and it flops into the pond hiding the liner.  The bees love it and it flowers for about six weeks for  me.

Thanks @Redwing, it's been transplanted from another garden so I hope the transplant pieces survive until tomorrow when I can get it into the garden properly.
