| Unlike its cousin, S. officinale, the flowers of this useful plant are pure white. It makes a wonderful fertiliser and, being semi-evergreen, leaves can be added to the compost heap throughout most of the year.

Gardeners with plenty of space can cultivate a comfrey patch so that they have a constant supply, | ||||||||||||
