What can I do with the comfrey patch?

[Mingomang]

I have a lovely big comfrey plant that is gorgeous in spring. It’s one over now and I’ve chopped it back which I don’t normally do but I trying to get a handle on the garden now.
Is there anything I can do with the big patch of earth it has left? If I sprinkle wildflower seeds there will they come up this year?

I think comfrey will grow back again pretty quickly, won't it?

Hope you kept all the leaves to make plant food?

It'll come back - in fact if you go out and look now it'll be probably regrowing. The only thing I've found that competes with comfrey (I've to a patch of the Bocking 14 non seeding variety) is a big clump of spring bulbs that arrived there when I tipped an old pot from a spring display on it as soil improver. It crowds everything else out.

Once mine has finished it's first flowering I chop it back hard and put the leaves and stalks on the compost heap (not the seed heads- I don't want it coming up everywhere in the garden) . It grows back and flowers again.

You won't have time to sow anything, it springs back extremely quickly.

Oh good to know!! Definitely a scorched earth effect at the moment. I’d love it if it flowered again.
