Comfrey is a versatile plant that would be an excellent addition to your homestead. It is hardy and easy to grow. Just plant the root cuttings horizontally under about an inch or two of soil. It can also be potted. When planting in a garden or elsewhere, make sure you give some thought to where you plant it, since it can be hard to get rid of once planted, as the roots grow deep, and it can be difficult to get them all out. However, Bocking #4 Comfrey is non-invasive and does not spread or seed. 

Comfrey can be used for compost, mulch, fertilizer tea, etc. Its beautiful purple flowers attract bees and butterflies. It can be made into a salve to promote healing of broken bones, sprains, or bruises, and for muscle and tissue pain and injuries. Many farm animals will eat the leaves, though it seems to be more palatable when dried. 

This listing is for 3 root cuttings approx. 3" in length. You can cut them even smaller and produce many more plants. They will be cut fresh the day of shipping. For best results, plant right away, but it can be stored in a refrigerator for a couple of months if needed.
