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.

BORAGE FOR TWIN IN GEORGIA: Apr 2025

The Borage is a delightful plant with a beautiful flower. They have self seeded in the past in PA. It was purchased for my Twin in Georgia. Twin can start her seeds in Georgia about a month earlier than where I live in Pennsylvania. She planted all of them already. No news yet on how they have germinated so can only give 4 stars.

Unique, beautiful, and tasty!

Borage has become an unlikely favorite in my garden. A few years ago, I tried it, because "Why not?" The stems are fuzzy, the flowers change between pink, light periwinkle, and blue, and have a refreshing taste. They make a pretty garnish. They have also been a gateway edible flower for friends. For some reason, friends have been willing to try these over say violas, marigold, or dandelion, for example. They're pleasantly surprised by the mild taste and a few have then been open to exploring other edibles. They easily reseed for the next year. I can't say enough good things!

Reseeding annual

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.
