WE NOW OFFER BOCKING 14 COMFREY CROWN CUTTINGS - SEE DETAILS BELOW!

One of our customer favorites!  

This is the multipurpose, non-invasive comfrey you need to partner with your fruit trees and garden!  Mines nutrients deep in the soil and releases them on the surface.  Produces huge leaves that are healthy livestock feed (chickens love them!) Outperforms and smothers out weeds.

Grows extremely fast and can be slashed 3-4x per growing season or more.  This is a non-invasive strain that does not go to seed.  

Bocking 14 Comfrey grows rapidly and easily from root cuttings. These are Naturally Grown at our nursery with zero synthetic chemicals.

These are a non-seed producing,non-spreading strain of comfrey (Bocking 14.) It won't spread via seeds but stays in place, expanding slowly as a tidy clump of plants with huge leaves and all the soil and fertility benefits comfrey brings.  We have tested it for years- it really does increase soil organic matter and improve soil tilth around fruit trees and other plantings.

Very easy to grow, simply cut the roots into approximately 3-4 inches long cuttings and start them in small plastic pots in potting soil and then transplant later. They take about 2-3 weeks to sprout above ground, sometimes longer. Once started, they grow very rapidly. See our comfrey listing for more information about comfrey.

Crown Cuttings:  This is the easiest comfrey cutting to work with.  Simply plant them root side down, leaving a few inches of the green stems above the soil, gently tamp down, water, and keep moist.  Within 1-2 weeks they resume growing and will establish a new mature plant within a few months.  These can be planted in loose, moist (well-draining) soil or in potting soil in pots, which is recommended for beginners.  

Choose your size package of our Naturally Grown comfrey cuttings. These are living, viable plant roots to be planted and not plants.  The size and diameter of the roots will vary but all will be viable and ready to plant and will produce plants.

Sold for planting purposes only. 

Bocking 14 Comfrey does NOT set seed and does not spread via seeds.

Comfrey serves many purposes: livestock feed, out-competes weeds, attracts and feeds bees and pollinators and serves as a natural fertilizer plant! Some people like to soak the leaves in water and use this as a fertilizer tea.  We've been impressed with it's use at PHN as a weed suppressant and chicken feed.
