How to grow the Comfrey Plant

 

Comfrey will grow well in full- to part-sun locations. They are not fussy about soil type, but it will grow best in well draining organically rich soil. 

 

Planting

"Comfrey is widely adapted, but it will thrive in rich, organic soil. As with all rapid growers, comfrey needs a lot of nitrogen. Comfrey gets all its nitrogen from the soil, so some regular organic matter is essential. However, it is not particular about soil pH. A neutral to an acidic range of 6.0 to 7.0 is ideal."
