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.
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...
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!!
Been looking for borage for a while! Perfect addition to my medicinal garden
The seeds were exceptionally viable which was a huge plus for this first time borage grower.
Highly recommend and cannot wait to see them bloom!
started my second round for the season to fill in when the March started plants start to fade and they've already sprouted.
