Growing Tips

 

Plant in a full sun to part shade position in well-drained soil. Comfrey is highly adaptable and once established, is very hardy and drought tolerant.

 

Allow space for growth, as plants can spread and form large clumps. Regular cutting of leaves encourages fresh growth and provides material for mulch or fertiliser.

 

Best planted where it can remain long-term, as it is difficult to remove once established. Does go dormant in winter
