Common Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a perennial herb native to Europe.Comfrey is a perennial plant with a large, coarse root system that grows in clumps. It's valued for its attractive foliage and spring blooms. The plant has a stout stem, typically 1-3 feet tall, with a spread of 0.75-3 feet. Its leaves are coarsely hairy and egg-shaped to lance-shaped, with wavy edges. The largest leaves are found at the base of the plant, growing up to 8 inches long, while smaller leaves higher on the stem have a decurrent shape. Mature stems develop wing-like features. In mid-spring to early summer, comfrey produces tubular flowers in drooping clusters that can be white, pink, or purple.

The plant has an upright growth habit and its stems are covered with coarse, hairy texture. The root system consists of a branched stem base from which fibrous and fleshy roots emerge. These roots are cylindrical in shape, typically less than an inch thick and up to 12 inches long, smooth on the outside and white inside.

The lower leaves of this plant are quite large, reaching lengths of up to 10 inches. They have an oval shape and a hairy texture that can cause skin irritation if touched.

Comfrey has been cultivated for medicinal purposes since 400 BC. It was introduced to America by immigrants in the 1600s, who valued its healing properties. Over time, comfrey has naturalized in many areas of the US, including roadsides and waste land. The plant's ability to heal broken bones earned it the nickname "Knitbone", reflecting its remarkable capacity for tissue repair. Its botanical name, Symphytum, translates to "to unite".
