Comfrey is a fast-growing, hardy perennial prized for its versatility and value in the garden. Known for its vibrant blooms and deep green foliage, this plant is an excellent choice for permaculture gardens, pollinator habitats, or as a natural soil enhancer. As a biodynamic accumulator comfrey pulls nutrients from deeper layers in the soil and creates a great mulch for fruit trees. Deep taproots draw up nutrients from the soil, enriching it and benefiting nearby plants.Comfrey can also be used for creating medicinal salves to help treat wounds and reduce inflammation from sprains and broken bones. Comfrey is a must-have for sustainable gardeners looking to combine beauty, utility, and ecological benefits in their landscapes. Comfrey is shipped in spring as root fragments - each fragment will create one plant. This variety does not go to seed and is propagated through division.
