Create a highly productive source of natural fertilizer with these live Bocking 14 Russian Comfrey root cuttings (Symphytum × uplandicum). Developed by Lawrence D. Hills through extensive trials in England, Bocking 14 is the gold standard comfrey variety for organic gardening, permaculture systems, food forests, orchards, and regenerative agriculture.

This sterile Russian Comfrey cultivar produces large quantities of nutrient-rich foliage multiple times per year. Its deep roots mine minerals from subsoil layers and concentrate them in the leaves, making it valuable for sustainable soil fertility. Use the foliage as mulch, compost activator, compost tea, liquid fertilizer, chop-and-drop material, or nutrient-rich garden bed additions.

Bocking 14 is especially high in potassium, making it an excellent companion plant for fruit trees, berries, tomatoes, peppers, squash, and other heavy feeders. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and provides abundant biomass for many years.
