Ideal for millennial gardeners seeking effortless beauty, sustainability, and a touch of culinary flair. ## Description This hardy annual herb has many uses and makes a delightful feature in the garden. Borage produces unusual leaves covered in small, silver hairs, joined by stunning blue blooms throughout summer which attract a variety of pollinators to the area with its sweet nectar. Bees even make a lovely borage honey from it! Its leaves have a distinct cucumber-like flavour which can be added to refreshing drinks and salads for an exciting touch. Direct sow borage seeds outdoors where they are to grow from March to May. Borage seed germinates best at a temperature of around 15-25C (59-77F). Borage will grow in most soils but prefers a position in full sun on well drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. When growing Borage, sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 6mm (¼") in drills spaced 30cm (12") apart and cover seed with its own depth of soil to exclude light. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to 23cm (9") apart. Ideal For: Kitchen Garden, Cottage Gardens, Wildlife Gardens Hardiness: Hardy Position In: Full sun Height: Up to 60cm Spread: Up to 45cm Borage is supplied as 1 packet of 100 seeds.

Review: The Blue Star of My Garden - If you’ve never grown borage before, you’re missing out on one of the easiest and most rewarding plants for both looks and taste. These seeds germinated quickly and grew into strong, healthy plants that seemed to thrive with very little fuss. Within weeks, I had tall, leafy stems crowned with stunning blue star-shaped flowers that looked like something out of a fairytale. Beyond their beauty, the flowers are edible and add a quirky splash of colour to salads and drinks. I’ve been dropping them into ice cubes for summer cocktails, and they never fail to get a reaction from guests. The leaves are also a great little addition in the garden as a companion plant — they seem to attract pollinators like bees on a mission. What I love most is how they transform a corner of the garden into something wild yet elegant. They reseed themselves too, so I’m expecting them to pop up again next year without much effort. For a packet of seeds that costs next to nothing, the return is ridiculously generous. Review: Beautiful, easy to grow, bees happy. - Grew very easily, provided a wealth of bee friendly star shaped blue flowers on first season. Wish I had more space. Hoping they bush out a bit next year. ## Features - Borage produces unusual leaves covered in small, silver hairs, joined by stunning blue blooms throughout summer - Attracts a variety of pollinators to the area with its sweet nectar.
