The green comfrey grows in sun and the solid green will also tolerate shade. It just won't grow as thick and dark green in the shade.

The variegated comfrey prefers shade and does not do very well in full sun.

All comfrey is drought tolerant and cold hardy. I think it can grow in zone 9. Comfrey is a tough plant.

I had comfrey roots in a plastic bag and forgot to plant them. They went rotten and smelly after sitting there in the hot garage in the sack for 4 months without water. So I threw them out into a hole and now I have pretty comfrey leaves growing up. 😄
