Is this the invasive variety?

I have heard that some vareties can be. My thoughts are that if you like a plant, try and give it what it needs (right placement/sun/good soil) then accept it's good & bad traits. Also if you live in a part of the country where it might thrive more than others, I live in southern California and it might love the extra heat and therefore grow a bit more. Honestly, I love this herb. So beautiful. I really don't care how aggressive it is. Hope this helps. Good luck!

This is Common or True Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) which is more resilient (or if you must "invasive") because it produces viable seeds, and therefore can spread on it's own more quickly than by root division alone. This is not necessarily a bad thing, in fact I (being schooled in permaculture) would consider this a distinct advantage to those who save seed and to the plant's resiliency (without wasting human time, energy and resources) within a given system. I know this is the common variety because Hybrid or Russian Comfrey (Symphytum x uplandicum, Symphytum peregrinum, Symphytum asperum x officinale) is sterile (most hybrids are) and can only be propagated from root cuttings because is doesn't produce viable seeds. Below is some information from this site which is a wealth of knowledge about comfrey: http://www.nantahala-farm.com/comfrey-root-s.shtml Common, True or Quaker comfrey is botanically known as "Symphytum officinale". It is native to Europe. It is 2 to 3 1/2 feet tall including the flower stalk. Flowers are cream, creamy yellow, white, pink or purplish. We sell the ones with purple flowers. Some sources call this "cultivated" comfrey while other sources call hybrid comfrey the same thing. It can be somewhat invasive by spreading viable seeds. Seeds germinate quickly, especially on wet soil that is peat or loam. Stratifying the seeds helps germination. Stratification is a cold, moist period. It needs to be stratified for about 1-3 months. It can also be propagated by root cuttings. It is used medicinally. Young leaves are eaten in Europe. It is used as a green manure or fertilizer. It produces less biomass than Russian Comfrey.

Invasive May be the wrong term, comfrey will bring fertility to your soil, plus all the benefitis of this amazing plant can offer. This one, I can tell by the flowers will go to seed, be aware of that, you can control it by removing theme before they drop.

I don't know if this is an aggressive plant. I'm only interested in the benefits this type of plant has to offer. I have decided to be very selective where I allow it to grow because of the length of its tap root. It is my understanding that once comfrey settles in, it's not easy to remove it.

Yes It Is. But, Grows like a weed and Blooms and Blooms. I can Hardly keep up with dead heading down to 3 leaves. Even when I don't, it still blooms. Make sure you get the DOUBLE knockout.

Not sure about the variety but they were all over me and my kids and we didn't get any bites. Good luck!

I do not know, I just bought mine and planted Carolina Jasmine and English Ivy to weave together.

It grows slow. Google it for some images and you will see a variety. Mine go dormant in the winter. Save any clipping for new plants. Google how to propagate (very easy).

Could be that its not adapted to the climate. Chinese elm can adapt but have a harder time if they adapt to indoor and then poot outside. But some adapt well some don't.

No that's not the actually plant you will get. I got a little twig with some green on it. It had came in a plastic planter. The thing had turned brown from sitting on my shelf in the sun

I just bought my first plant, and it arrived as a little tiny, but healthy plant, just about one month ago. I bought a Lady Margaret at the same time. Both are growing and appear to be healthy but the Lady Margaret is growing amazingly fast while my little Incense plant seems to be a slow grower. Both are healthy and appear to be happy. But one is really out pacing the other. I look forward to seeing both mature. Here is NC we have had a lot less sun than usual so that may be playing a part.

Yeah it should be. I think the most light demanding plant I am growing is rotala indica and it grows like crazy. Everything else I am growing is not as demanding but doing well also (anubis nana, subwassertang, moss balls, java fern, and java moss).

I believe this is the rose geranium variety. It is AMAZING and has easily become one of my favorites. It is unique and exotic. Love it alone or with lavender.

No, my shipment didn't arrive with a list of plants by species. However, I contacted the seller for another reason and they were completely helpful. I'm sure they would be happy to include a list of plants if you request it with your order. FYI, I had a bigger order so I received many duplicate plants.

I believe it is; however, I have not tried it yet my plant is still too small

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend getting this plant. It was dead when it arrived.

Hi Donald, These arrive as live plants; moist bare-root. If you need to know the genre and species its best you take it up with the seller. GMO or Not, I have had some success with these bearing hardy strawberries, which are very flavorful. The time from arrival into the ground is crucial. I am in southeast FL, so I can grow these year round. Not sure what frankenstrain is, but these are hardy, bare-root starter clumps, and after 10 minutes of soaking in warm water, they had already opened there leaf buds. Within 90 days I had fruit, albeit sparse but now I have plenty and need to check for ripe ones every few days. I ordered 25 but the grower actually sent 33 clumps. I lost 5 or so In the process. I am so satisfied, I am going to add more next fall. Read up on the intensive bedding set-up and care they require before you buy. Prep your planting area in advance of their arrival. "Heavy Feeders." Best of Luck Greg

Well, if you're growing it outside then it might be a weed... But it you have it indoors then i shouldn't be a weed. The plant does look a little bit strange when it first pops out of the soil, but within about two weeks you should be able to tell that this a Carolina Reaper. Good luck!

Call the manufacturer but I do believe it is non-discriminating. I had glorious blooms with use of this product but I also had no honey bees that year. Last year I opted not to use it and used a little Epsom salts instead, to help boost growth/blooms. I had way more honey bees. Not certain if that's coincidental or not. I won't use anything like the Bayer Advanced again. sorry

Yes, it is the plant and very small. I couldn't believe how much it had grown. It's been several years since I purchased it, and we have had numerous offshoots from it...Right now we have two large plants from the original one we purchased in pots that are about 18" in diameter.
