Scrophularia grandiflora is a perennial rhizomatous herb from central west Portugal, growing up to about 1.8 m tall with pinkish flowers. It is a wild species of shady, humid, somewhat disturbed places, so it suits a woodland-edge or partly shaded spot in a garden.
Scrophularia grandiflora is a species of flowering plant in the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae) endemic to Portugal.
Scrophularia grandiflora is endemic to central west Portugal, mainly in the districts of Coimbra and Leiria, and partially on Santarém and Lisbon where it inhabits slopes and shoulders of paths, empty spaces and forest edges, preferably in shady, humid and somewhat disturbed places. Usually 400–500 m (1,300–1,600 ft) altitude but is also found at much lower sites. Its habitat is focused largely on the area around Coimbra.
