Comfrey around outside of greenhouse - will it spread inside?

    I have planted some comfrey around the some of the outside edge greenhouse as a ground cover, and to avoid awkward weeding and mowing around the outer edge of the greenhouse. I don't know which variety.

    I was going to keep going around the outer edge with more comfrey, but I know it spreads eagerly. Should I be worried about it spreading inside the greenhouse, through the soil? The greenhouse sits straight onto the soil (not on a strip foundation).

    I can only answer for Comfrey Symphytum officinale, and yes it probably will. I have it outside a tunnel and it spreads in.

    Not too much of a bother though as I just dig it up and have more plants for outside or use leaves for the compost bin / chop and drop and the other things you do with comfrey. I really love this plant the bees just love it too!
