Description
Comfrey is one of the most useful and versatile plants you can grow – it’s easy to care for, a tremendous pollinator attractor, a highly effective fertiliser, a feed supplement for many animals, and has potential health benefits for humans too. Every garden, allotment, and smallholding should have a comfrey patch!
Bocking 14 comfrey
We only grow and sell the comfrey variety Bocking 14. This is a sterile, non-spreading strain of comfrey, developed by Lawrence Hills. It will only spread via cuttings, unlike wild comfrey and some other russian comfrey strains which will spread rapidly by seeding and root creep.
Cultivation and care
Comfrey is easy to grow, and you will receive full planting and care instructions with your order. Comfrey crown cuttings should be planted as soon as possible, ideally into pots of compost or soil, at least 2 inches in diameter. This ensures that the cuttings get the best possible start, minimising the risk of adverse effects from soil-borne pest or diseases. Keep moist and apply a liquid or pelleted nitrogen feed regularly.
Once established in their pots, with healthy new leaves growing and at least 2 inches long, plant out into their permanent location, leaving at least 3 feet between plants.
If you are unable to raise the cuttings in pots, plant out directly and keep weed free.
Comfrey plants will reach maturity in 18 months from crown cuttings, and up to 2 years from root cuttings. Top dress regularly with manure, the plants will absorb high levels of nitrogen and grow rapidly.
Our comfrey
We’ve been growing comfrey for over 20 years, from foundation stock purchased from the HDRA in 1999. We are a certified grower, inspected annually for plant health, and authorised to issue plant passports.
You can buy with confidence – our customers include thousands of gardeners all over Europe, companies like Hozelock, and organisations like Historic Royal Palaces.

Received promptly with good instructions. Have planted them and they have taken and are growing new leaves already and it’s not even been a week.
Anna (verified owner) –
Packaging of order very good and I was delighted to receive a pamphlet with detailed instructions for Comfrey. I have just potted them and looking forward to seeing them grow. I have no hesitation recommending Dalmore Croft.
Clare (verified owner) –
Thank you for the friendly prompt service. My comfrey arrived looking good, with excellent leaflet and offer of help if required. I look forward to lots of good plant food and compost, and the comfrey not seeding all over the garden, but the bees happy enjoying the flowers.
Kellie (verified owner) –
I received my 5 crown root cuttings only a week and a half ago and they’ve already got leaves. They came with a great little leaflet explaining everything you need to know about them, thank you for that it’s a great help as I’ve never grown comfrey before. I’m really happy with these, I’d definitely recommend.
Gill (verified owner) –
Excellent service – plants arrived promptly, and well packed. They’ve all flourished and we have our first jar of comfrey juice fertilizer. An excellent company to deal with – friendly personal service. And great to support small businesses.
Karen Sagar (verified owner) –
The crown root cuttings arrived in good condition and looking very healthy. The cuttings were accompanied by a helpful booklet on how to grow and use comfrey. Dan was very helpful throughout the order process, promptly answering my emailed questions and I really appreciated the email updates on my order. Looking forward to seeing my cuttings grow and would definitely order from Dalmore Croft again.

Wonderful results from the quickest growing (quality second to none), comfrey ever seen, and outstanding in every way of use . I have become addicted to working with the plants, and the joy, and pleasure it brings me using such a natural means of enhancing all of my gardening. Thank you Dan.

What an amazing company. My Comfrey Bocking 14 is growing well. I cut it back several times each year and I get masses of growth from it. I put leaves in the holes when planting, add it to my 2 compost heaps and I have a water butt full of evil smelling fertiliser!
Finally, a really helpful company, who answer promptly and efficiently. Highly recommended

I’ve been growing blocking 14 ever since I purchased Lawrence D Hills book on the subject eons ago. I commend you for your work and spreading the comfrey message. Have you tried educating councils to grow comfrey for public benefit?
Stan Thewlis –
I highly recommend this company. After 2 years of failing to get comfrey to grow, I found this company on line, and bought 5 crown cuttings. They arrived in excellent condition, with full instructions which I followed exactly, and the result is 100% success – the cuttings are already growing within a week of being potted. The company is very friendly, and the service I’ve had from them could not be better. First class!
