MeadowSweet Herbs & Flowers Nursery and Herb Education Centre is now closed for orders from 16 December 2025 until mid-January 2026 while I take a short festive break.
Thank you for your continued support of my small, home-based nursery throughout the past year. I look forward to helping you grow plants for your kitchen, garden, and herbal home remedies cupboard when I reopen in the new year.
Wishing you a peaceful and nourishing festive season.

Comfrey – Bocking14
$9.50
A Russian comfrey hybrid, non-seeding cultivar selected for high nutrient content. Grows to 1–1.2m tall with purple-pink flowers. The best for composting, mulching, and liquid feeds, as it doesn’t spread by seed. It’s the “gold standard” for permaculture use.
All comfreys are perennial herbs in the Boraginaceae family, preferring moist, fertile soils and sun to part-shade. In NZ, they’re hardy and often semi-evergreen. Their main uses are:
Medicinal: externally in poultices, salves, and ointments for bruises, sprains, and wound healing (traditionally known as “knitbone”).
