This gives some tips on where you might find it growing wild http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfrey and has a few pictures.

Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

There's a white version which grows around the lane on my site, which doesn't get so big.

I have a variegated form which is in the allotment flower border... might be coming up for division... I'll check over the weekend. It's relatively tame... doesn't spread, doesn't get as large, doesn't seed... very pretty...  :)

Any chance of a neighbour having some then???? Pretty please?  ;D ;D ;D swap you for some seeds? 8)

If you want to find comfrey in the wild then check out Long Hanborough in Oxfordshire it is covered in the stuff.

It is stiunning comes in so many colours, white, pink, blue, purple and all the colours in between, amd also two tone.

I only take it from quiet lanes, I am worried that the lead from the petrol is still lurking deep down in the verges.  After all where has it gone?
