Deep-rooted and vigorous, it produces large, lush green leaves and attractive bell-shaped flowers that are highly appealing to bees and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA favourite among organic and permaculture gardeners, comfrey is commonly grown as a nutrient-rich addition to compost, used to make homemade liquid fertiliser or cut regularly for use as mulch around fruit trees and garden beds. Its extensive root system allows established plants to draw nutrients from deep within the soil, while the abundant foliage provides a valuable source of organic matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfrey also has a long history of traditional herbal use, particularly in external preparations such as poultices, salves and infused oils.
