Earthcare Seeds True Comfrey 50 Seeds (Symphytum officinale) Non GMO, Heirloom

Comfrey is a garden powerhouse with so many uses! Its deep roots help break up compacted soil and pull nutrients from below, while the broad, leafy tops make excellent mulch for trees and shrubs. You can also steep the leaves to create a rich, homemade compost tea that plants love. This hardy perennial grows 3 to 3.5 feet tall and does well in a wide range of soils–perfect for Zones 4 through 9. Once established, comfrey is a “cut-and-come-again” plant that can be harvested multiple times each season. It’s ideal for permaculture gardens, homesteads, and anyone looking to build better soil naturally. Germination takes a bit of patience–it can be a little erratic and may take up to 30 days. For best results, soak the seeds in water in the fridge for 48 hours, then sow them on top of warm potting soil (between 68-75degF) and press them down firmly. Keep the soil moist and provide gentle warmth and light to encourage sprouting. Growing Tips: Zones: 4-9 Light: Full Sun to Part Shade Water Needs: Moderate Best Time to Sow: Spring or Fall Each seed packet includes growing instructions and a photo of the plant. Seeds are stored in ideal conditions (cool, dark, and dry) to help maintain their viability for the current and next growing season.
