This strain was developed during the 1950s by Lawrence D Hills, the founder of the Henry Doubleday Research Association (the organic gardening organisation itself named after the Quaker pioneer who first introduced Russian Comfrey into Britain in the nineteenth century) following trials at Bocking, near Braintree, the original home of the organization. Comfrey Cuttings Directions: Soak in water for at least 4 hours prior to planting. Plant in rich loamy soil or in high quality potting soil in a starter tray. Keep moist (plastic cover for starter tray works well. Keep well lit but away from direct sunlight which will dry the cuttings too quickly.
