20+ Comfrey seeds (Symphytum officinale) Comfrey is one of our most popular medicinal herbs. Common Comfrey is also referred to as ‘Knitbone’ as it is the plant’s high concentrations of Allantoin that helps reduce inflammation of sprains & broken bones. When mashed & heated into a poultice or applied as a salve, Comfrey can also make a wonderfully mild astringent great for ulcers & sores. The plant’s natural Allantoin levels also make it a great herb for after sun care. Just steep fresh comfrey into a tea for external use, by straining the leaves & letting it cool. You can then soak the sunburned areas in the cooled tea to help reduce pain & discomfort, & promote healthy skin regeneration. -USDA Zones: 3-9 -Perennial -All seeds come with growing instructions How to Sow: Start comfrey outdoors in late fall/early winter or in other times of the year after a 30 days cold stratification before planting in the greenhouse or receptive garden bed. Seedlings grow fast & in time send down a good taproot. You really have to grow them for 2 years before adequate root yield can be obtained. in the meantime, the leaves can be harvested, preferably just prior to flowering. in Zones 4 to 8, it would seem reasonable to expect a summer harvest of leaf in the first year, & at least 2 harvests of aerial parts per summer in successive years. Sow 4-6 seeds per plant, 8-10 apart. Comfrey 20+ Seeds Medicinal Herb Non-Gmo | Symphytum Officinale
