Can i plant out young comfrey plants in March?

[stevekentuk125]

Hi got myself some bocking 14 comfrey which is now about 10cm in height would they be okay to plant out at my allotment in march? Or is it a safer bet to keep them in pots and plant out in april? Im situated in kent

thanks

Where have you been keeping it till now?

I noticed that my comfrey on the plot is starting to grow, so I think you would be safe enough planting it provided you harden it off gradually if it's been kept indoors.

They are tough plants ... but having said that I grew mine on in pots, hardened off, and then planted out - but I think that was seriously Belt and Braces!

The slugs will eat tender baby leaves though on new plants.

ive had them in pots on the window sill, maybe i will leave it another couple of weeks

Can you put them outside during the day and bring them in in the evening Steve?
