Borage

Borago officinalis. Borage is a versatile herb known for its striking blue, star-shaped flowers and soft, fuzzy leaves. With a refreshing cucumber-like flavor, borage is perfect for adding to salads, teas, desserts, or as a garnish in cocktails. The leaves and flowers are edible, making it a flavorful addition to a variety of dishes.

Easy to grow, borage thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it’s an excellent choice for gardeners looking to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to their garden. This herb spreads quickly, providing an abundance of beautiful flowers and greenery throughout the growing season.

Perfect for both culinary and ornamental purposes, borage adds a touch of color and flavor to herb gardens, flower beds, or containers. It matures in about 60-90 days, making it a fast-growing and low-maintenance addition to your garden.

Borage is a good companion plant to strawberries, tomatoes, and spinach.
