Live Russian Comfrey Root, Bocking 14 Cultivar by Verdant Treasures

Will update review when or if the Comfrey sprouts. I was excited to find a seller for this Item on amazon, so I gave it a shot, And so far I am very happy. I was promised a cigarette sized cutting, and it is a good deal larger than a cigarette. The thickness I would estimate is about 30% larger, so I am very happy with my purchase at this time. If this sprouts, it will stay a 5 star review, If not, It will be downgraded to a 4 star review, as they have gone above and beyond and any potential failure at this point would have a tinge of my own personal ability involved, so can't fault them too much. Root cutting looks healthy! Update 8/21/2023 after I got the root cutting, let it soak for 4 hours, and put it into soil, it sprouted on the left. one week later, and it is also sprouting on the right. Very vigorous growth. Great seller. 5 Starts all around. Update 9/9/2023, I decided to repot them plants, and found they had taken over a 12" pot. they were not root bound, but the entire pot was filled with roots. I separated each plants root balls, and potted them into 20 gallon pots. Hopefully they root well for the foreseeable future, as I am astonished with these cute little plants. Adding two more pictures of their progress, prior to this, I only posted one photo. Ten month update 05/24/2024 plants have grown into full fledged comfrey plants, and have begun to flower, at the end of this season, or the start of the next, I plan to dig them up and check on the roots to see progress and will update again.

Very pleased with how it was packaged to maintain the quality of the cutting. Cuttings were healthy and viable.

So excited to say that all of my root cuttings are all sprouting! This arrived well packaged and great instructions for planting. I was impressed with a note from the sender asking for feedback on how the plants progress. I would definitely buy again and recommend. Thanks to the seller for my new comfrey babies.

I waited until I had leafing above soil before I added a review. I am working on an urban scale, .10 acre lot, 'food forest' and the soil is in zone 5a/b CO where the previous owner completely neglected the soil in the front and backyards. I scoured my local nurseries, big box stores and the internet and was shockingly surprised to find hardly any flowers or roots for sale given Bocking 14's notoriety and popularity amongst gardeners, or lack there of apparently, outside of permaculture. Long story short bought these to help heal and aid in rebuilding my soil and I am utterly amazed at 100% growth on several different locations, soil types and sun exposure etc!!! If you know or understand how comfrey works and its benefits to all things, then please know this is an incredible bargain. Seller is completely competent and knowledgeable of this plant and provides exact instructions that if followed, AND WITH PATIENCE, you will have the same results. This is an AMAZING super plant and I will be ordering more from this seller now that I have my results. Happy planting y'all!

Seller gave us some extra and sent lots of useful information.

Outstanding. Fast shipping and the root was moist and mailed with care. Will be ordering more.

It takes about 3 weeks to sprout

Planted one last year, the bare root decayed in the ground and never grew. Contacted seller, they replaced it free of charge, with a new root, and they answered my questions on when and how to plant it last fall. This Spring after the snow melted, I now have a growing comfrey plant! I’m so happy with the seller and the plant.
