True Comfrey 50 Seeds (Symphytum officinale) Non GMO, Heirloom

I Love my sprouts. I soaked my seeds in water in tea cup, plastic wrap it. In my fridge for a few days. (Forgot about it was in my bottom compartment) almost a week. I noticed the tip of the black seeds became white. Nervous thought it got moldy. I chanced it and sprinkled them over my container/miracle grow dirt. Then sprinkle a little more dirt on top. 3-5 days later. Keeping it moist. It has been sunny and warm. I believe the weather helps. May/June. It truly sprouted. I’m a proud plant mom . Thank you . I highly recommend this seller. Im excited to use these medicine plants. Hey, I was hesitant from reading some of these reviews, saying that it did not sprout… But I’m super happy with my results… I only used half of the seed packet. I anticipate sharing my plants with all my family and friends… Perfect gifts for any occasion holistic healing. It will be a new experience for me for sure.

There were many crushed seeds in my pack but I still received 52 whole seeds to plant, so they must put extra in. Of those 52, only 18 germinated. The 18 that grew, germinated and grew very quickly (within 2 weeks) but I waited 40 days to be sure after reading about many people having slow germination times. I did follow the instructions and cold stratified the seeds in the refrigerator first, and I have a greenhouse that I start my seeds in for optimal warmth and humidity. I am fully satisfied with 18 plants since comfrey is a notorious spreader. I started these seeds directly into 4” pots rather than seed flats since they quickly develop a long taproot.

In spite of the negative germination reviews, I ordered these. I put the seeds in a mason jar with water (with a lid) in the refrigerator and honestly forgot about them. They were probably in there for 5 days. I was nervous that I had ruined them, but kept on going. I prepared dirt that was perfect for seedlings. (Important) you have to gently press them in the dirt and lightly cover the seeds. Then I misted the dirt with water. I also covered my tray with Saran Wrap. The tray was placed in my breakfast area, but only got indirect sunlight. In maybe 6 or 7 days I started to see them coming up out of the dirt. It was only a few at first. As time went on, more and more came up. Here is the important thing to remember: these can take up to 30 days to germinate! Don’t toss them out or give up. As you can see from my tray, I still have some coming up. So far, I probably have 40 plants. (I had to put 7 dust on them to keep something from nibbling on them) The other comments about this plant being invasive: All you have to do is harvest or cut the plant down before it goes to seed. If you see flower buds or flowers, cut it. You are probably like me and growing this plant to harvest the leaves anyway.

It germinated, but good lord I had no idea how quickly this stuff spreads! I didn't realize how tall it grows and wanted to move it and I can't get all of the root out so it just grows back. Be sure you're positive where you want it, because you can relocate it to a new space, but it won't leave the original location.

I purchased these comfrey seeds with high hopes, but unfortunately, **none of them grew at all**. I followed the planting instructions carefully, provided the right conditions, and waited patiently—but absolutely **nothing sprouted**. This was a total disappointment and a complete waste of both time and money. I’ve had success with other seed brands, but these were a complete failure. I would **not recommend** buying these if you’re expecting actual results. Save your money and look for a more reliable supplier.

I read all the negative reviews before I bought the seeds. But I thought for such a small price I would take a chance. I read instructions how to plant. Figured how so many followed instructions and failed to sprout any seeds, who needs instructions. I did not soak the seeds in water and put in fridge for 2 days. I just put potting soil with pearl lite in Red Plastic cups, put a hole in bottom for draniage. put 2 to 3 seeds per cup. Sat them outside here in florida in January. Watered the cups every other day or so. They got full sun when it was out. Just left them outside 24 hours a day. Day 10 I had a couple pop out of the soil. Day 11 many more. Nothing wrong with these seeds. Maybe soaking them destroyed them, who knows. But mine are growing like they should. Maybe they just like Florida and are glad to be out of California. lol up date. Day 16 over 30 seeds sprouted so far.

These seeds grew.. so happy they did! But after I transplanted them my cats ate them!
