ORGANIC COMFREY FOR SALE:
    ROOT CUTTINGS, CROWN CUTTINGS, 1-YEAR-OLD PLANTS

Buy Bocking #4 Comfrey (Comphrey)

We sell Bocking #4 strain of Russian comfrey, Symphytum Peregrinum, which is best overall for hardiness, yield, allantoin content, and general use.

It is also known as Quaker comfrey, Russian Comfrey, Healing Herb, Blackwort, Bruisewort, Wallwort, and Gum Plant. It is scientifically known as Symphytum asperum x officinale which is the same as Symphytum peregrinum which is the same as Symphytum x uplandicum.

It has purple flowers. It is a hybrid developed in the 1950s by Lawrence D. Hills, the founder of the Henry Doubleday Research Association. It is not invasive like wild comfrey. The seeds are sterile.

Over the years a plant will slowly widen with new plants growing right next to the mother plant. But it will not send out invasive runners. (See the photo above. It was taken in early spring so has not reached full size yet for the season.) The plant is 4 years old. That is how far it has spread and no further. If you want more plants, you can divide plants like those and replant them elsewhere.

Strains we do not sell: Bocking #14 and Bocking #17. The #14 is shallow rooted and subject to drought. It has more allantoin. The #17 is deeper rooted than #14 and yields slightly less than #4. The #17 is a little finer stemmed than #4.

Roots, Crowns and One-Year Plants

We sell organic Bocking #4 root cuttings, crown cuttings (offsets), and 1-year-old plants. If you want to get a fast start with your plantings, we recommend the 1-year plants.

Comfrey root cuttings are 2 to 3 inches long. (See the first photo. They do not have sprouts in the photo but will form when you plant them.)

Comfrey crown cuttings contain eyes or buds and are 3-5" long. (See the second photo. It has sprouts. Plant sprouts facing up.)

One-year-old comfrey plants are established and ready to produce. (See the third photo with the plant about 6-8" long. It also has sprouts that turn into leaves. Plant with the sprouts facing up.)

We sell hardy stock that is ready to grow. Comfrey can be planted any time the ground is not frozen. It is very cold tolerant. It starts growing early spring and continues growing into late fall.

The minimum purchase is 10 cuttings or plants. The more you order, the greater the discount. You can order in quantities of 10, 25 and 50.
