Light: Full Sun
Temperature: Perennial for zones 3-9
Watering: Comfrey needs an average amount of water and prefers to stay consistently moist but not waterlogged. Do not allow it to dry out between watering.
Soil: Needs moist soil that drains well so that the roots do not stay wet and begin to rot.
Comments: Comfrey is a highly useful herb for the organic gardener! The plants grow quickly and produce four to five pounds of cut foliage per plant, which is very rich in mineral content. This foliage decomposes quickly and makes a highly effective, all natural liquid fertilizer. You can also add the leaves themselves to your compost pile to aide in breaking down other organic matter, which will give you a much richer compost mix.
