Grow one of the most useful plants in the garden with these True Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) seeds. A favorite among gardeners, homesteaders, and permaculture enthusiasts, comfrey is valued for its deep-rooted growth habit and ability to gather nutrients from deep within the soil profile.

Often referred to as a dynamic accumulator, True Comfrey is commonly grown as a companion plant, pollinator attractor, chop-and-drop mulch source, compost ingredient, cover crop, and natural fertilizer plant. Its vigorous growth and large leafy biomass make it an excellent choice for building soil health and supporting productive gardens.

Unlike sterile varieties such as Bocking 14, True Comfrey produces fertile seed, allowing gardeners to establish larger patches and save seed for future plantings. Organically grown in Alaska, these seeds are well suited to northern climates but can be grown successfully throughout much of the United States with adequate moisture.
