Borage (Borago officinalis) is an attractive and easy to grow herb that is a useful addition to any kitchen. Blue, star-shaped flowers and hairy leaves have a mild cucumber flavor and serve as a tasty garnish for salads or a beautiful natural baking decoration. Excellent companion plant to strawberries, squash, and tomatoes.

Seed packet contains 1 OZ (about 1200 seeds). Start borage seeds indoors for earlier blooms. Be cautious when transplanting as taproots prefer minimal disturbance. Large, premium seed packets give instructions on how to grow and when to plant outdoors.
