Item description for Bocking 14 Comfrey Plants, 10 Bare Root Plants from my Indiana Homestead Garden

You are purchasing 10 plants for one price.

I am overstocked with this item. This is the reason for the discount price at this time! Only available at this price while the overstock exists!

These are rooted plants of Bocking 14 comfrey. I started these plants from our own Bocking 14 Comfrey plants. They are growing in pots approximately 3 - 5 inches across.

The first two photos are my comfrey plant in my garden.

Third photo is the Bocking 14 plants in October, which I have to sell. As cold weather moves in they will eventually lose their large leaves and enter dormancy but the roots' potential will still be the same!

The next pictures are of our goat, Bella, eating Bocking 14 comfrey. She thinks it is quite delicious!

Bocking 14 does not spread by seed as most other comfrey does. Consequently it is not invasive! However if you disturb the roots it will spread by root. My advice is, plant it where you want it and don't mess with the roots unless you want it too spread at it's own will!

Comfrey has a very deep root system. Consequently it brings up nutrients from far below. It is a very hardy perennial herb plant.

USES FOR COMFREY:

Bocking 14 is considered a good variety for medicinal use.
It also makes excellent garden plant fertilizer! It grows fast. When it is ready to bloom or blooming you can cut it down and use the large leaves as mulch around your plants or you can use the leaves to make a tea for your plants or just add the leaves to your compost pile!
My neighbor says this is her favorite plant in the garden! She allows hers to bloom and the bumblebees love it!
Last but not least comfrey is a nutritious and delicious green feed for chickens, goats (see photos!), pigs, cattle, etc.

I also have available Heirloom Comfrey. See separate listing.

You will receive your plants as Bareroot Plants with most or all leaves trimmed off. If possible I try to leave a small leaf or two on the plant but the large leaves would create too much stress for the plant and would wilt! During the winter months all leaves eventually die back and the plant sleeps. It will then be shipped with no leaves at all but have no worries these fellows are quick to wake up when their surrounding warm up and soon you will see green leaves pushing through!
