Comfrey is one my favorite plants to have on the farm. This perennial has a variety of uses. For centuries it was used for medicinal purposes and was even called "bone knit". We use it in the following ways:

Fertilizer - Great chop and drop plant. We cut it as many as 3 times a year and place the cuttings around annuals, fruit trees, and berry patches.

Dynamic Accumulator - The roots of comfrey go deep and pull a multitude of minerals from the ground.

Pollinator Attractant - The small bell-shaped flowers on Russian Comfrey attract all kinds of pollinators. This makes it such a good companion plant in the garden.

Weed Barrier - Due to its rapid growth and thick foliage,  it makes a perfect edge plant to separate landscaping areas from grass area or walkways. 

Animal Feed - The protein in comfrey is higher than soy! It is a great feed supplement for our chickens.

Our comfrey is the Russian STERILE variety. It only propagates via root cuttings. It produces no viable seed. That being said, plant comfrey in a spot you want to to be for a long time as it is difficult to remove all the root elements that can start a new plant.

Includes Russian Bocking #4 or Bocking #14. Very similar and hard to distinguish from each other.
