Description

The listing, Comfrey Live Root (Not Seeds) Herb(last one for this year) has ended.

Comfrey is a perennial I will send planting instructions with the root.
It is generally propagated by division of roots; in fact, each piece of broken root has potential to shoot. Plant in a permanent position, as comfrey can have a very long life. Choose a sun or partial shade site, and loosen heavy, compacted soil. . The more the leaves are picked by cutting or pulling at the base, the more the leaves will keep coming. Regular cutting will stop the plant from flowering so it can put this energy into leaf production. Do not plant too closely to small herbs, as the large leaves of comfrey may shade them out completely. In temperate climates, comfrey goes deciduous in winter. In warmer locations it will have leaves to pick all through winter.

Many prescribed the plant to heal wounds and broken bones.

The genus name symphytum means to heal together, and for this use, it is renown: that it can assist the body to heal any part that is torn or broken, which also explains the reason for another common name, knitbone. Leaves or roots applied as a wash, poultice or ointment are used for bruising, sciatica, boils, rheumatism, neuralgia, varicose veins, bed sores, wounds, ulcers, insect bites, tumours, muscular pain, pulled tendons, gangrene, shingles and dermatological conditions.

how often does it need to be watered ? Does it die down in the summer or winter and then come back?
