Can you recommend a good variety and source of comfrey, please. I've seen cuttings offered on ebay, but I don't mind waiting for seeds to grow...

I think the one you need is called Bocking-14, it is sterile so won;t self-seed all over the garden, so can only be grown from cuttings.  Comfrey is very vigorous, seed-raised plants will take over after a couple of years!

Thank you, Kristen. My allotment is 134' x 21', so I think I should be able to fit a comfrey patch in! Now, where can I buy shed seeds?

i wouldnt buy it, ask around your allotment, somebody will give you a few roots for free , im sure.
I know a few places were bocking 14 can be found in the wild (dont know how it got there though)  i dig up the root snap it in half  (keep half) and re-plant half.
Remind me next spring and i will send you some roots if you want?
