About Comfrey Spacing
Standard Spacing (2 feet)
Our recommended standard spacing of 2 feet between plants works well for most garden applications. This spacing allows comfrey plants to establish without competing excessively while still creating a dense planting that maximizes your harvest.
At this spacing, each plant requires approximately 4 square feet of space.
Wide Spacing (2.5 feet)
If you're growing comfrey primarily for larger leaf production or in areas with very fertile soil, consider the wider 2.5-foot spacing. This gives each plant more room to spread and can result in larger individual plants.
At this spacing, each plant requires approximately 6.25 square feet of space.
