{"product_id":"hh-comfrey-true","title":"True Comfrey Seeds (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrue Comfrey is a purple-flowered herbaceous perennial for gardeners who want to establish comfrey from seed. Unlike sterile comfrey hybrids, this form grows true from seed and can produce seed after flowering. The deep-rooted plant is often placed near orchard trees or grown where cut foliage can be added to a managed compost system. Native to Europe and hardy in USDA Zones 3–9, it prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Choose its permanent location carefully because an established perennial is not a temporary garden crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSymphytum officinale\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003epatens\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA Zones 3–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchard understory placement or managed compost plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 20 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, moist, and well drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow just below the surface and tamp firmly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect-sown germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 30 days under suitable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePretreatment option:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 30-day cold, moist period can speed germination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransplanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grow seedlings in pots until established before moving them to the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan the planting site before sowing, leaving room for a persistent perennial. Keep seed media moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. Seedlings can remain in pots while roots strengthen, reducing disturbance when they are transplanted. If you want to limit volunteer seedlings, cut flower stems before seed matures. Manage harvested foliage according to your own compost plan and leave enough growth for the plant to remain established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids that may be toxic.
