Borago officinalis. An attractive annual, producing cucumber-flavored leaves and attractive flowers. Use to flavor salads, pickles, cream cheese spreads, or cook and eat like spinach. It is a surprisingly large plant for the size of the flowers it puts out. Flowers cluster on flower stalks in groups of 8-10 flowers all blue with a white center. Beautiful grown in containers. Grows 1-2'/25/61 cm high.

Aesthetically attractive, tasty & enjoyed by beneficial insects

Fuzzy texture and vibrant electric blue sparse flowers added lively texture & color to my garden. Bees preferred it. I topped my toasted cream cheese bagels with the plucked blooms and the strawberries I interplanted them with. Flavor reminiscent of cucumber & violas. Perfection.

Some struggled when temperatures climbed to the 90's(F) and above.

The seed quality was great. I planted a few of these throughout my vegetable garden and the bees loved the flowers. There will always be a place in my garden for a few of these plants.

Grow With Strawberries!

I purchased these to grow with some Honeoye Strawberries to intensify the flavors of the berries. I think it worked, but I did not think to grow some strawberries without borage for a control...so, I can not be positive it's not my imagination.
It grew quite impressively and I love the little flowers so much! I will be using the leaves for medicinal teas as needed, and might save seed to press for oil if I get my oil press soon. I plan to grow these yearly now...and honestly, the way they self seed, it's pretty much free once you buy these once.

Thanks for the quick delivery! Planted the seeds about a week ago and plenty of new seed sprouts are popping up now. Hoping my honey bees will have some more flowers to visit. Thanks again!!
