Long vivid green leaves and clusters of purple-pink tubular flowers make Comfrey a welcome addition to flower beds and borders. This is a great way to fill gaps, especially between rose bushes. Comfrey also grows well in pots and containers. Known as the Healing Herb, Comfrey is popular in herbalism. It's historically been used topically on sprains, bruises, minor cuts and scratches. It's not suitable for human consumption and should not be ingested. Comfrey also has many uses in the garden. Leaves can be regularly harvested and added to your compost as an activator to speed up the process. They can also be made into a nutritious and effective plant feed, suitable for use on fruit and veg crops as well as flowers and other plants. If you have a damp area of the garden, Comfrey is ideal for adding interest and colour. It loves moist ground and is perfect for spots near rivers, streams or ponds. Pollinators find Comfrey irresistible, and you’ll find it attracts lots of bees and butterflies to the garden.
