Bring a hardworking perennial herb into your garden with a farm-grown comfrey starter from Sweet Martha’s Family Farmacy. These rooted plants are grown at the Farmacy and ready to continue growing in their new home.
Why Grow Comfrey?
Comfrey is a vigorous perennial valued by gardeners for its large leaves, deep roots, and usefulness as a chop-and-drop mulch or compost ingredient. Once established, it can return year after year.
Uses & Harvest
Harvest mature leaves as needed during active growth for compost, mulch, or garden fertilizer preparations. Leave enough foliage for the plant to recover between harvests. Comfrey is not recommended for internal consumption.
