Description

For gardeners preparing a bed with everyday care in mind, Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) offers a seed-grown option for kitchen gardens. Start the perennial garden crop with full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil.

For the first stage of planting, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow, with a balanced routine focused on initial root development after sowing.
