Comfrey is characterized by large, hairy, oval-shaped leaves and clusters of pink to purple bell-shaped flowers which bloom from spring to summer and attract many bees with their nectar. Comfrey is an extremely cold-tolerant perennial that will go dormant each winter and reemerge every spring. Great for composting and mulching.
