Growing Comfrey in New York

New York state offers excellent conditions for growing comfrey:

  • Hardiness Zones: New York spans USDA zones 3-7, and comfrey thrives throughout these zones
  • Growing Season: Plant comfrey in early spring after the last frost, or in fall at least 6 weeks before the first frost
  • Soil Conditions: Comfrey adapts well to New York's varied soil types but prefers the rich loams common in many parts of the state
  • Winter Care: Established comfrey plants are winter-hardy throughout New York, even in the coldest northern regions

Comfrey is particularly valuable in New York gardens for:

  • Soil Building: Helps improve New York's clay-heavy soils in many regions
  • Companion Planting: Works well with New York fruit trees like apples and pears
  • Season Extension: One of the earliest plants to emerge in spring, providing early-season biomass
  • Erosion Control: Helpful on New York's varied terrain, especially on slopes
