I purchased Russian comfrey here about 2-3 years ago. I live in South Florida – the first year was off to a slow start, I thought the climate may not be appropriate, but this past year or two they’ve really taken off in a big way, doing great! Very happy with this purchase, packaging was excellent, and the plants are doing great. Will true comfrey also do well in South Florida?

I ordered my Russian Comfrey on 6/19 and the plants arrived at 6/28. The plants are in excellent shape due to the amazing packaging.
Question:
The instructions recommend potting the plants in regular potting mix. The instructions also recommend looking for instructions on your website. Do there plants need a special potting mix?
