A borage family member known for its hairy leaves and bell-shaped flowers, common comfrey thrives in gardens as a perennial herb. Prune common comfrey during early spring to late summer for containment and rejuvenation. Remove dead or damaged leaves and stems regularly, and cut back to a few inches post-flowering to encourage a second bloom. Pruning also prevents overcrowding, improves air circulation, and supports healthy growth in this vigorous grower.
