## Overview

Earthcare Seeds True Comfrey offers 50 heirloom, non-GMO seeds of a hardy perennial (Zones 4-9) that naturally improves soil health by breaking up compacted earth and drawing nutrients. Its versatile leaves serve as mulch, compost tea, and organic fertilizer, while its purple flowers attract vital pollinators. Ideal for permaculture and sustainable gardens, these seeds come with expert planting instructions to ensure confident growth and ongoing harvests year after year.

## Description

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 68–75°F) 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.

Review: Good buy - There were many crushed seeds in my pack but I still received 52 whole seeds to plant, so they must put extra in. Of those 52, only 18 germinated. The 18 that grew, germinated and grew very quickly (within 2 weeks) but I waited 40 days to be sure after reading about many people having slow germination times. I did follow the instructions and cold stratified the seeds in the refrigerator first, and I have a greenhouse that I start my seeds in for optimal warmth and humidity. I am fully satisfied with 18 plants since comfrey is a notorious spreader. I started these seeds directly into 4” pots rather than seed flats since they quickly develop a long taproot.
Review: Great seeds for Florida weather. - I read all the negative reviews before I bought the seeds. But I thought for such a small price I would take a chance. I read instructions how to plant. Figured how so many followed instructions and failed to sprout any seeds, who needs instructions. I did not soak the seeds in water and put in fridge for 2 days. I just put potting soil with pearl lite in Red Plastic cups, put a hole in bottom for draniage. put 2 to 3 seeds per cup. Sat them outside here in florida in January. Watered the cups every other day or so. They got full sun when it was out. Just left them outside 24 hours a day. Day 10 I had a couple pop out of the soil. Day 11 many more. Nothing wrong with these seeds. Maybe soaking them destroyed them, who knows. But mine are growing like they should. Maybe they just like Florida and are glad to be out of California. lol up date. Day 16 over 30 seeds sprouted so far.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this Russian comfrey?**
A: No, this is the original Comfrey 'Symphytum officinalis'. Hope this helps?

**Q: Description says 'heirloom'. Are they open pollinated / fertile seeds?**
A: Yes. They are open-pollinated, heirloom seeds. The seeds are not hybrid or genetically modified. Pollinators will visit the flowers, and the pollination will result in the plant producing fertile seeds. I hope this helps?

**Q: Is this the Bocking 14 variety?**
A: Mine are ones grown from seeds not a root start. They are wild comfrey seeds. They came up well. Have wintered well and are now growing again.

**Q: Is these seeds official name ‘symphytum officinalis‘ or ‘symphytum officinale’?

i can’t find the official name as ‘symphytum officinalis’**
A: The seeds are indeed Symphytum officinale. Thank you for asking and for bringing this to our attention. The official name of the seeds is Symphytum officinale. We have corrected the name in the listing and on the seed packets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes time to germinate
*by M***J on August 6, 2022*

In spite of the negative germination reviews, I ordered these. I put the seeds in a mason jar with water (with a lid) in the refrigerator and honestly forgot about them. They were probably in there for 5 days. I was nervous that I had ruined them, but kept on going. I prepared dirt that was perfect for seedlings. (Important) you have to gently press them in the dirt and lightly cover the seeds. Then I misted the dirt with water. I also covered my tray with Saran Wrap. The tray was placed in my breakfast area, but only got indirect sunlight. In maybe 6 or 7 days I started to see them coming up out of the dirt. It was only a few at first. As time went on, more and more came up. Here is the important thing to remember: these can take up to 30 days to germinate! Don’t toss them out or give up. As you can see from my tray, I still have some coming up. So far, I probably have 40 plants. (I had to put 7 dust on them to keep something from nibbling on them) The other comments about this plant being invasive: All you have to do is harvest or cut the plant down before it goes to seed. If you see flower buds or flowers, cut it. You are probably like me and growing this plant to harvest the leaves anyway.
