Old fashioned and pretty, borage is an easy-to-grow herb grown for its edible and attractive starry blue flowers that taste like cucumber. Both the leaves and the flowers are great in salads and drinks. The flowers can also be candied.
Only six weeks after germination, borage bears loose clusters of five-petaled, star-shaped blue flowers with white centers and black stamens that are a delight to bees.
Easy to grow.
Since Borage is an annual the USDA hardiness zones do not apply. Each package of seeds comes with growing instructions.
