How To Grow Comfrey From Seed: Comfrey seed can be sown in Autumn or Spring. When sowing in Autumn, use seedling modules or small pots. Sow two seeds per cell/pot. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest one. Keep them in the greenhouse over winter. As they grow bigger, pot them into bigger pots. Plant them in their final spot the following Spring.

Alternatively, sow the seeds directly where they are to grow in Spring. Sow 3 seeds where 1 plant is required as germination can be more erratic outdoors. Thin to leave only the strongest seedling when they establish. Keep the area damp.

Comfrey can be harvested after the plant flowers for the first time. Leave roughly 25cm of the plant in place to regrow.
