Superscript
Bocking 14 Comfrey
This garden powerhouse will provide a multitude of benefits!
It's beautiful enough to grow as an ornamental, but it's also incredibly useful. The large leaves can be used for chop-and-drop mulch and homemade fertilizer, the flowers attract pollinators, and the plant comes back year after year.
Comfrey also has a long history of use in herbal preparations, particularly topical preparations made from the plant's leaves or roots. Research on topical comfrey preparations has found promising results for things like minor sprains, bruises, and musculoskeletal discomfort.
There is some disagreement as to potential harm ingestion of comfrey may cause humans. At this time, ingestion is not recommended for people, but it is recommended only in small quantities as a livestock fodder.
Gorgeous, large leaves and purple flower clusters.
Pollinator attractor; bumblebees especially seem to love it!
Sterile variety that will not spread by seed.
Chop and drop the leaves for green mulch.
Ornamental value, with interesting texture, color, and shape.
Breaks up compacted soil and improves soil biology.
Herbal medicinal use in salves and other topical treatments.
Absolutely indestructible; even if the leaves die off, the root remains and sends up new shoots.
A taproot that can go at least 4 feet deep is the key to its hearty survival even in the toughest climates.
