Comfrey loves a cooler climate and can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit, making it an excellent addition to northern herb gardens. It enjoys full sun, however if you live in a hot climate, it may require some shade. It doesn’t care if the soil is rich or not. It would benefit from a little fertilizer now and then.
Root cuttings are the most common method of propagation. Plant in the spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In rich soil, 2-4 inches deep. Allow it about two feet of room to expand. If it doesn’t rain, keep the comfrey moist by watering it periodically.
In the first year, flowering stems should be cut so that the plant’s energy can be spent on developing a strong root and leaf system. The plant can then be allowed to blossom. While the plant is in flower, it continues to grow. The majority of comfrey plants readily reseed and can soon become a nuisance. It’s easier to keep the blossoms in check if you cut them before they go to seed. Wards off the evil of unknown strangers and protects from theft.
