Bocking 14 Comfrey Root Cuttings - 5 Organic Live Cuttings - Symphytum × uplandicum - Permaculture & Compost Plant

Establish a productive source of natural garden fertility with these live Bocking 14 Russian Comfrey root cuttings (Symphytum × uplandicum). Developed by Lawrence D. Hills in England during the 1950s, Bocking 14 is the preferred comfrey cultivar for organic gardeners, permaculture practitioners, orchardists, and homesteaders due to its vigorous growth and exceptional nutrient-accumulating abilities.

This sterile Russian Comfrey variety is famous for producing large amounts of nutrient-rich foliage throughout the growing season. Its deep root system mines minerals from the subsoil and concentrates them in the leaves, making it an outstanding plant for composting, mulching, compost tea production, chop-and-drop gardening, and orchard companion planting. Bocking 14 is particularly valued for its high potassium content, which supports healthy flowering, fruiting, and crop production.

Once established, comfrey becomes a long-lived perennial capable of producing multiple harvests each year. These root cuttings offer an easy and reliable way to start a dedicated comfrey patch that can provide years of sustainable garden fertility and soil improvement.
