Live Comfrey Roots & Crowns
Comfrey – Russian Bocking 14 Cultivator
Symphytum x uplandicum
Get fresh root cuttings or comfrey crowns sourced from the comfrey growing on our homestead! These live root cuttings are pieces of the root that will sprout and grow into a plant, while the root crowns grow to maturity more quickly.
This sterile hybrid (developed in the 1950s) doesn’t produce seeds, but propagates readily through the roots. It’s a popular variety for permaculture, because it brings nutrients to the surface and thus builds soil naturally, and it has also been used as feed for livestock.
It is extremely high in allantoin and proteins, the highest of any comfrey. In addition, it contains nitrogen, potassium, AND phosphorus. Produces large leaves and purple/red/blue flowers that bees love. Traditionally used medicinally.
Please remember that wherever you plant comfrey, it will remain there basically forever, because it propagates through root fragments. It’s almost impossible to destroy!
