Yes, have comfrey! These are from last season, I don't know germination rate and I need more starts. Your post jolted me into action and just put some in coir seed start pellets. I certainly don't want to waste our postage sending something that doesn't 'do' In a few months will have plenty of fresh (I try to get seeds and/or aging blooms harvested before all over the ground). Hopefully you'll see some little green leaves waving at you across the ocean in a couple of weeks!

It looks like we'll have plenty of seeds this season! This winter the comfrey went all the way down, and a few weeks ago starting showing some green. They are growing now, and starting to send up flower stalks. Some of the early leaves were coarse and looked like a saw edge. Now it looks like something has been nibbling the edges. Go figure.
Comfrey, of my! They burst forth and got ahead of me! Lots of pretty purple blooms, and bees are very happy. Today I finally went out and gathered seeds, cut back some stalks etc. I cut off leaves and spread out in empty flat to dry. Stalks, stems and anything remotely like a seed bagged for trash.
I did plant up seeds in peat pellets and will see how the germination is, which should show in a couple of weeks.
