Size

British Columbia: fall plants can’t ship there this season. Seeds can.

Comfrey plants are propagated from root cuttings taken from seed grown stock plants. This vigorous perennial forms dense crowns above deep roots.

The broad leaves provide abundant material for mulch and compost, while the flowers provide forage for pollinators. Comfrey is often grown around fruit trees and in other perennial garden systems.
