• Place them about 2–3 inches deep in the soil
• Space plants about 18–24 inches apart
• Water well after planting
• Keep soil lightly moist until new growth appears

Once established, comfrey is low maintenance and grows vigorously. Because it can spread easily, plant it in a permanent location where it has room to thrive.

Growing Tips:
Comfrey prefers rich soil but will tolerate less-than-perfect conditions. Water during dry periods while plants are getting established. Harvest leaves once plants are mature and actively growing.
