Planting tips: Comfrey can be grown from seed, but it requires a winter chilling period to germinate.

Sow the seed just under the surface and tamp in securely.  Keep warm and moist until germination, which takes approximately 10 days.  Germination may take as long as 30 days. Grow the seedlings out in pots for about 3 months, then transplant to the garden.  You can also direct-seed into a fertile bed once the soil warms up a bit in the spring.
