True Comfrey is a hardy perennial herb known for its large, rough-textured green leaves and nodding purple bell-shaped flowers. Traditionally valued in herbal medicine and as a powerful compost and mulch plant, comfrey thrives in a wide range of soils from moist to well drained. It is highly productive, regrows quickly after cutting, and attracts pollinators, making it a versatile addition to herb and permaculture gardens.
