Frequently Asked Questions
When will my comfrey arrive?
Orders typically ship within 3-5 business days. Delivery time depends on your location, but most orders arrive within a week of shipping.
What's the difference between roots and crowns?
Comfrey roots are sections of the plant's tap root, while crowns include both roots and the growing point where leaves emerge. Crowns establish faster but roots are more economical.

For a small garden, 3-5 plants is usually sufficient. For larger areas or if you plan to harvest frequently for compost or tea, consider 10+ plants.
Is Bocking 14 invasive?
Bocking 14 is a sterile cultivar that doesn't spread by seed. However, it can spread from root fragments, so plant it where you want it to stay or in containers.
