The 3 W's of Comfrey

Ready to get your hands in the dirt with this week's feature?

What?

This bell-like perennial plant, with it's varying hues of white, pink, and purple, and blue, is native to Europe but grows well in all temperate climates including North America. It makes its home in moist and marshy land, can be grown straight from seed but is also easy grown by root division which makes our life easier. Growing a herb that requires tons of moisture, in an already extremely humid climate, makes for an interesting venture, let us tell you.

Why?

Way, way back in the 1700's Comfrey, was known as Knitbone and was used for mending broken bones. Three hundred years later, we are using it topically to relieve sprains, bruises, wounds, sports injuries, insect bites, skin inflammation, acne, scars, and stiff, aching joints.
