Borage is a freely seeding, easy growing annual plant with vivid blue flowers and leaves with the flavor of cucumbers. It is consider an herb, but is often grown as a flower in vegetable gardens where it attracts pollinating bees and is considered a good companion plant for tomatoes, squash and strawberries.
Description:
Borage is actually a somewhat gangly plant, but you barely notice it because the star-shaped flowers are so vibrant. Theyre a true blue, hanging in downward facing clusters. Even the fuzzy white buds are attractive. Both the flowers and the leaves are edible, with a cucumber-like flavor. Use the leaves while they are young, because as the plant matures, the stalks and leaves become covered with a prickly fuzz.

Borago officinalis
Common Name: Borage
Sun Exposure:

Mature Size:
45 - 90cm H x 22 - 60cm W. Growing borage in full sun will help make for sturdier plants.

Borage can bloom from late Spring through summer. Staggering your planting times will give you a longer period of bloom and provide a longer harvest time.
