Sterile Comfrey?
« on: September 02, 2010, 20:31 »
I bought some 'sterile' comfrey a while back - it's doing well in pots until the beetroot have been pulled from the future comfrey patch.

One of the comfrey plants has flowered (rather pretty and purple). Does this mean that it's not sterile? Does sterile comfrey not flower, or does it flower but produce no seeds/non viable seeds?

Thanks in advance,

SS

All you need to know about comfrey, in particular Bocking 14 that produces flowers, but not seed.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
