What is this poor looking thing and can it be saved?

Found this poor looking thing in the middle of some random growth. It was looking pretty poor. It had 3 wooden stems that I have cut away.

Lots of dead and eaten leaves.

What is it and can it be saved in a pot?

 

It could be Comfrey, but they don't have hard "wooden" stems, but thick, deep, soft, stringy, fleshy ones with a very characteristic smell.

 

Possibly a very sad foxglove?

 

That sounds familiar actually from last year.

Any saving it do you think?

 

If you want it ...

Foxglove leaves are toothed, comfrey leaves are not, so yes, more likely.

Always worth a shot - some fresh compost, a slightly bigger pot and a bit of water might work wonders!
