Outsidepride Comfrey Seeds - 100 Pcs. Perennial, Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance, Herb Seeds for Planting Tall, Vibrant Bell-Shaped Purple Blooms for Versatile Uses & Pollinator Gardens

I through them in a pot indoors and put in front of window and they are taking off very nicely about 4 inches now. Very healthy foliage so far! I'm very excited my first try has been great with these seeds.

The seeds can be hard to germinate. What worked best for me was planting the seeds in trays, keep them in the refrigerator, for about a month. Then bring outside in warmth. Got abot 75% germination. But be patient. Once established they grow quickly and return every year. You can chop them down for their leaves to use as compost activator or make compost tea. High in nitrogen. I am using mine as a border for my 50 X 20 veggie garden. Once established, they are very easy to move. Just a few inches of root will start a new plant that will flower the first year.

So I bought these seeds in October, then put them in the freezer until December. No reason other than I always put all my seeds in the freezer when I'm not going to use them for a while.So I soaked 35 seeds in a cup of water for about 48 hours at about 65F degrees give or take. Then I put them on some wet toilet paper (a paper towel would be better) in a dinner dish which I covered with saran wrap/plastic wrap. Then I put the dish they were in on top of my water heater (anything warm to the touch, but not hot would work). I checked them every day, and sprayed a little water on them once during that time to keep the toilet paper moist. The seeds were right on top of the toilet paper, not wrapped in it, and were visible easily through the plastic wrap. Eight days later 26 of the seeds had small tails sprouting, which I just planted in six pack seedling trays. I suspect some of the other nine seeds will sprout, and so I also planted those too.I was skeptical I'd have such good results considering some of the other reviews, and from watching youtube videos, but I am pleased. In my experience it's now my fault if the seedlings don't grow into full blown plants. I'll try to update with my results as far as them growing out.In summary, these are good seeds.

Beware...this is the heavily flowering cultivar of Comfrey. Taller and more invasive than the Bocking 4 or Bocking 14 cultivars.The positive side is that they are excellent pollinator attractors; superb for composting; and deep root nourishment taps for your other nearby surface plants. That being said, they will self seed and overtake a garden if not effectively controlled.This also not the most used for medicinal purposes, and what we call "Knitbone". The Bocking cultivars are better for that, as well as for using as mulch which will break down very quickly. The Bocking varieties are also better for making comfrey tea for you garden. (Very smelly though!!)Nonetheless, we grow this variety and control it in order to primarily have the flowers which bring the bees....and they in turn pollinate the rest of our garden.

I am an avid garden lover, so I wanted Comfrey plants this season. I bought a pack of these seeds, used sterile, organic soil mix and grew 2 containers worth with just a night time grow light with huge success. I now have many young baby comfrey plants in my Oregon soil doing well. These were so easy to germinate that I will probably go ahead and start more soon while the seed is so fresh. I may just end of with a huge field of Comfrey but what the heck. I am pleased with this company and will now consider buying other seed from them. Excellent service and product!

My comfrey which I was growing for the flowers and for compost I about 1/2 inch tall and doesn't look like comfrey at all. I ended up buying some comfrey locally and it is growing like crazy. Maybe the seller got some seeds mixed up. Overall I bought quite a few seeds from different companies and had great success with all but 3. Unfortunately was wanting the comfrey the most. Planted borage at the same time in same area and buckwheat and they are going crazy with growth. This plant stays low to the ground and gets large but not high and no flowers what so ever. If I were to describe them they look like dandelion without the flowers or something similar to that

I have had trouble germinating these seeds. I have planted them in about 5 different locations and only two have sprouted. They recommend freezing the seeds for a couple of weeks to start the germination process and I tried this with a second planting. I know they are notriously slow germinators but come on. I have more seeds freezing and will try a third planting. They two that have sprouted are still very small after almost a month of growing. Perhaps the best is yet to come. I reccomend learning about comfrey if you are unfamiliar with it. Not ready to recommend this seller's seeds.

Great seeds. Took some last year and froze them in the freezer for two weeks then put them in pots. Watered until two sprouted. Put them in a garden box and one in the ground. Just kept them wet during the heat. Picked and dried leaves as it grew. They flowered nice and I hope to get new sprouts after this winter. The two are still alive, but the one directly in the ground and in full shade has been doing the best. The other one struggles in the garden box where full afternoon sun would shine.
