- This was the mother plant that we harvested the seeds from!
About mid June, we were faced with a comfrey seed crisis. There are only a few reliable sources for all but the most common herbs. No one had any and we had a deadline; if we were to have comfrey plants for fall– we must sow seeds now!
With nowhere else to look, we turned to our own garden. Just last year we had planted several comfrey plants in the garden surrounding the office. Seek and you will find! There on spent flowers stalks were the seeds we needed. So we sowed seed we collected and the young comfrey plants pictured here, are second generation Growers Exchange. These plants will establish this fall and return in spring as full grown plants, expect blue flowers in early summer.
Our NEW Fall comfrey plants, grown from seeds harvested here at our farm!
The photo pictured above is a shot of our new comfrey plants! From the seeds that we harvested in our own gardens here on the farm, these plants have grown to be huge and healthy! We’re just about ready to ship them from our garden to yours, so get your orders in today to have first choice of these terrific herbs!
