I bought mine from a boot fair I think but you can get young plants from the Organic Gardening Catalogue, and various other places online...
The Organic Gardening CatalogueResistance is fertile -
Got mine from a Farmers' Market but I think other people have got it off eBay
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Beware "wild" comfrey, it is a prolific seeder - you'll have it everywhere. I think you want the sterile version, Bocking 14. Have a look at some of the earlier threads for a fuller discussion, inc. this one:

If comfrey is cut well before the flowers appear(when it does most good)then there is no problem with seeding--I think!!Originally posted by Two_Sheds View Post
I gather mine from the fields whilst the leaves are still small.Comment

I've a feeling it creeps too Polly. You get very big clumps of the stuff.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Prrhaps so.I've never needed to grow it so wouldn't know,though it seems to me it may be like rhubarb,the longer the old root is left in the ground the bigger the clump.Maybe dividing it up may work?Originally posted by Flummery View PostComment
