I have moved this into Vegging out so that more people can see it and respond

Pot, compost, compost pot. Just like that.

Just like you would an average seed. Light covering of compost over them. Keep away from slugs because young comfrey plants are vulnerable. Mine were last year anyway.
I think I started mine in the greenhouse and then moved them outside but a cold frame will probably do.

just wanted to make sure.

If you have comfrey seed that tends to suggest that's it's self-seeding. Watch out when it flowers because you'll have comfrey popping up everywhere.

am going to cut it quite regularly and use it as mulch on beds, but thanks for the heads up.
