Grow your own established patch of Bocking 4 Comfrey with these live root cuttings, ready for planting. Comfrey is a vigorous perennial valued by gardeners for its abundant foliage, deep root system, and usefulness in permaculture gardens, composting systems, and soil-building applications.
Bocking 4 is a cultivated comfrey variety traditionally associated with high foliage production. Once established, comfrey develops into a substantial perennial plant that can return year after year under suitable growing conditions.
You will receive 4 live root cuttings approximately 1–4 inches long. The roots are shipped with soil around them to help retain moisture and protect them during transit. These are root cuttings rather than mature leafy plants, so their appearance upon arrival will differ from photos showing established comfrey plants.
You will receive:
✔️ 4 live Bocking 4 Comfrey root cuttings
✔️ Root length: approximately 1–4 inches each
✔️ Shipped with soil around roots for moisture protection
✔️ Ready for planting upon arrival
✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival
