Sow in trays or pots in clusters of 4 or 5 seeds. Keep substrate moist until seedlings reach the stage of 3 or 4 true leaves. Then transplant directly into place. Propagation by stump division also works well.
Extremely hardy, comfrey will adapt just about anywhere. It can withstand temperatures down to -30°.
