Grow borage from seed for vibrant blue edible flowers with a fresh cucumber flavour. A fast-growing, pollinator-friendly plant loved by bees, borage is ideal for teas, salads, and informal garden borders. Traditionally associated with courage, borage is easy to grow and brings both beauty and usefulness to the garden.
Borage seeds are easy to sow from spring to early autumn, producing vibrant, edible blue flowers that attract pollinators. Grow in full sun with well-drained soil, watering regularly. Harvest flowers and young leaves for salads or garnishes from early summer onwards.
