Description

The listing, Russian Comfrey ONE LIVE PLANT has ended.

This is for ONE live root of Russian Comfrey. The photo is the mother plant from where this root will be dug.

Comfrey is a bushy perennial, that, like a peony, will die back after the frosts and come up again in the spring. It has large furry leaves and a spike of mauve flowers, which hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies just love. I use it in the compost, too; I cut the comfrey down just after it flowers and it will come right back. The furry leaves add wonderful nitrogen to the mulch. Some years I can get three harvests from it!

Comfrey has long hairy tap roots, and if you leave one hair behind when you move it, it will grow again. Trust me, I know - that's why I've got so much of it ha ha! Plant it where you want it to stay. I've got it in full sun, I've got it in full shade; I can't seem to kill the danged stuff, so give it a try even if you have brown fingers LOL!

You will receive one piece of root, dug from this clump (don't worry, I know it will come back again!). This is for ONE live plant. I promise you the plant is live when I dig it up. The photo is from the parent bush under my crab apple trees. I know this will grow, and I will ship it in a timely fashion, but I do not guarantee that if you leave it in the box for a week and do not tend to it that it will still be alive. Please play fair.

I'm asking a $3 contribution towards the shipping on this. They cost between $3 and $6 to send, and I can't offer free shipping just at the moment, as much as I would like so to do. Thanks for understanding.

Hey folks, this is good stuff! I got some from the_stonetalker a few weeks ago, it has new leaves and is growing well. This plant has many use--- no one should be without it. I'm glad I am not without it anymore!

What sort of medicinal value does this have? I have heard of comfrey before, but can't remember what all it is good for.

I think you can find the information you seek here: http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/learn/comfrey_leaf.php

If not, there are plenty of other websites on comfrey if you just put 'comfrey' in the search engine, thanks.
