Borage
(Borago officinalis)
Borage is a fast‑growing, hardy annual herb prized for its striking blue, star‑shaped flowers and refreshing cucumber‑like flavour. Loved by gardeners and pollinators alike, it is one of the best plants you can grow to attract bees and beneficial insects into the garden while adding beauty and function to your space.
The edible flowers and young leaves are commonly used fresh as a garnish, in salads, drinks, and summer dishes, where they add a mild, cooling flavour. Borage grows vigorously with minimal care and often self‑seeds, returning year after year once established.
🌿 Why You’ll Love It
- Brilliant blue edible flowers with strong ornamental appeal
- Excellent pollinator plant, loved by bees
- Easy‑to‑grow, fast‑establishing annual
- Mild cucumber flavour in leaves and flowers

🌱 Growing Tips
- Direct sow for best results: Borage does not like transplanting; sow seeds directly where they are to grow once frost risk has passed.
- Sun & soil: Thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil, and tolerates poor soils better than most herbs.
- Watering: Water regularly while young; once established, borage is relatively drought tolerant.
- Allow space: Plants can grow large and branch widely—give them room, or grow one per container.
- Self‑seeding: Let flowers go to seed for natural re‑sowing, or deadhead to control spread.
