How to start off a comfrey plant.
You can get cuttings of comfrey from anyone with a comfrey plant. Ask nicely and don’t expect them in the winter. It’s best to make take root cuttings in the spring and start them in a pot for a week or two until they’re a nice small plant. Putting them out straight away might work if the weather isn’t too horrid and there’s no slugs about. Whilst slugs won’t damage a big plant to much effect it’ll certainly be no good for a young plant, so give them a fighting chance and start them off in a pot. The seeding comfrey can be grown from seeds or you can find young plants growing next to the fully grown plants. To stop them being a nuisance cut them back. Comfrey is a great plant for corners you don’t mind filling with the plant!
