How to Germinate Comfrey

How to Germinate Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
  • Sow Comfrey seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or directly outdoors in early spring.
  • To improve germination, stratify seeds by placing them in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks before planting.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining potting mix or garden soil.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 10-14 days.
  • Once seedlings are 2-3 inches tall, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 2-3 feet apart to allow room for mature growth.
  • Comfrey can also be propagated by root cuttings for faster establishment.

Additional Tips
  • Comfrey prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist and promote vigorous growth.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots.
  • Harvest leaves when they are large and mature for use in compost, as a mulch, or for herbal preparations.
  • Comfrey can grow aggressively; consider planting it in a contained area to prevent unwanted spreading.
