Description
Borage is a vigorous heirloom herb with fuzzy leaves and star-shaped blue flowers that bees seem to find before anyone else. The edible blossoms have a mild cucumber note and look beautiful floated in drinks, scattered over salads, or frozen into ice cubes for a garden-grown flourish.
Plants can reach impressive size and reseed readily, so give them a little room. Borage is useful in pollinator plantings, herb beds, and edible flower gardens, where its rough leaves and bright blue stars bring a wild, generous charm.
