A favorite among gardeners, borage attracts bees and other pollinators, making it an excellent companion plant. The edible flowers add a splash of color to salads, desserts, and cocktails, while the young leaves are perfect for soups and teas.
This resilient herb thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, maturing in just 6–8 weeks. Borage is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, ideal for herb gardens, pollinator gardens, and containers. Enjoy the beauty, flavor, and ecological benefits of homegrown borage.
