I have a pamphlet somewhere written by Lawrence Hills, who developed Bocking 14.
It had a breakdown of which comfrey clones were best for fertiliser.
I have collected comfrey from the flood plain at the side of the Trent. If there is nowhere near you that you can collect it, I would always recommend the sterile clone Bocking 14. If you grow a clone that flowers, make sure you cut off flowers before they form seed, otherwise it spreads all over the garden.
Yes, be very wary where you grow it, out of sight, It does not like too much sun; but a great help for making comfrey feed for the garden, brings all plants to life. I love using it... You can make comfrey tea, oinment for cuts and bruises, all manner of things. Good luck!
