Borage has great tasting flowers. My kids love eating them. Be aware that they do reseed easily if you don’t pick all the flowers. I had so many volunteers the next year. But they were easy to pull out when small and even transplanted well.

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.

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.

Love this plant...
