This cultivar is a sterile hybrid, meaning it does not self-seed and spreads only slowly, making it a manageable addition to the garden. Its large, hairy leaves and deep taproot make it an excellent choice for permaculture systems, companion planting, and as a dynamic accumulator of nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown from live root cuttings, this comfrey establishes quickly and can be used to create a productive, low-maintenance patch. The plant's lush foliage and clusters of bell-shaped flowers attract pollinators, while the leaves can be harvested multiple times per season for use as mulch or in compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterile cultivar that does not set viable seed, preventing unwanted spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep taproot that mines nutrients from subsoil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, fuzzy leaves with high potassium content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClusters of purple, bell-shaped flowers in summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-growing and long-lived perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Symphytum × uplandicum 'Bocking 14'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil consistently moist during establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clump-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-36 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant root cuttings in prepared soil after the last frost, or in early fall in mild climates. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the cutting and place it horizontally about 2-3 inches deep, covering firmly with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the area moist until new growth appears. Comfrey is relatively low-maintenance once established; water during dry spells and cut back foliage after flowering to encourage fresh growth. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes live root cuttings of Russian Comfrey 'Bocking 14'.
