Growing Comfrey in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania offers excellent growing conditions for comfrey across its diverse regions. The state's varied topography creates different microclimates, from the milder southeast to the cooler mountain regions.
Pennsylvania receives approximately 40-45 inches of precipitation annually, which is generally sufficient for established comfrey plants. However, during summer dry spells, particularly in urban areas and the southeast region, supplemental watering may be beneficial until plants are established.
Comfrey thrives in Pennsylvania's generally fertile soils. In the limestone valleys of central Pennsylvania, comfrey grows exceptionally well due to the naturally alkaline soil. In the more acidic soils of the Appalachian Plateau region, comfrey will still perform well but may benefit from occasional lime applications. The plant's deep taproots help it access nutrients and moisture even during occasional dry periods, making it an excellent addition to permaculture systems throughout the state.
