Comfrey            Symphytum officinale                      Boraginacea

 

 

Mature Plant

Having a deep tap root makes Comfrey a little difficult to get established in some soils but once settled it seems to last for years.

Comfrey has quite a sturdy, healthy root system that brings nutrient up from much deeper in the soil than most plants.

Because it contains phosphorus, potassium, calcium and allantoin it is extremely useful as a healing agent speeding up the cell renewal in damaged muscle.

Pot the rootstock immediately and within two weeks you will have a healthy plant growing.

Aside from the medicinal value, it's ability to supply a beneficial 'tea' for the garden, means that it pays it's own way every year. The 'tea' is a little smelly but it is so good for your garden that you really don't mind.

 

 Mature, Rootstock with or without leaves $4.00

 

Potted Plant (Tubestock)   $6.00
