Comfrey "Blocking 14" - Live Plant

Blocking 14 Comfrey (Symphytum × uplandicum ‘Bocking 14’)

Description

Bocking 14 Comfrey is a highly productive sterile comfrey variety widely valued in permaculture and regenerative gardening. This vigorous plant produces large, deep green leaves and clusters of small purple bell-shaped flowers. Unlike common comfrey, Bocking 14 does not spread by seed, making it easier to manage while still producing abundant foliage. It is especially valued for composting, mulching, and making nutrient-rich plant feeds.
