Herbs - Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)


About:

Comfrey is a wonderful addition to the garden. It needs a sunny area where it can spread into a lush patch. Bees adore comfrey flowers, and the leaves can be used to make compost and "compost tea" that is nutrient-rich to feed your garden soil.


Sun/Soil

Comfrey grows quickly and easily in sun or shade, and can growupto 5 feet tall. It will readily spread so plant it in a place where your patch can expand.


Culinary Uses

Comfrey is not for internal use. External use only!


Medicinal Uses

Comfrey leaves have been used traditionally in salves and poultices to heal broken bones, sprains and strains, as well as skin rashes and inflammation.


Comes in a compostable pot, hardened off and ready to plant. Grown with organic seed and organic soil.


Curbside pick-up at Little City Farm. We will email you with pick-up dates.

We are grateful for all those who have saved seeds, tended land, and passed on plant knowledge before us. We live on Treaty 1 territory, traditional territory of the Anishanaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Metis. 
As a small act of reparation a portion of our farm proceeds is donated to Indigenous-led food security programs in Manitoba.


For all Farm Store orders you will receive an email with specific pick-up / delivery details.
