Comfrey is not invasive, but… Comfrey is not an invasive plant. It does not send out runners or vines to take over garden beds or lawns like our morning glory and buttercup does. Most varieties of comfrey also do not set seed (including the comfrey we have growing on our property). HOWEVER, comfrey root grows very successfully after being divided (which is why it’s so easy to transplant), SO if you have comfrey on your property and you want to get rid of it, DO NOT try to dig it out or rototill near it. If even a tiny piece of root breaks off and is left in the ground, it will re-grow. The best way to get rid of comfrey is to sheet mulch over it. It will not send out shoots or runners to get around the mulch. Just lay some cardboard and other mulching materials on top of it to rob it of sunlight and you’ll be all set.
