Prickly comfrey is capable of adjusting to a diverse array of thermal conditions, though particular combinations of heat and water could nonetheless restrict its spread. The plant flourishes optimally in warm climates during the summer, provided there is sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended times of overcast, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures could enhance the risk of the prickly comfrey perishing. During winter, the chances of the plant surviving are heightened by the provision of adequate safeguards against the cold.
