These Borage seeds produce a fast-growing annual herb with star-shaped blue flowers and soft, cucumber-flavoured leaves. Loved by bees and other pollinators, Borage is a brilliant companion plant for fruit and veg gardens, helping to boost biodiversity and natural pest control. The edible flowers make a striking garnish for salads, drinks, and desserts. Sow seeds directly outdoors from March to June in well-drained soil and full sun. Thin seedlings to around 30cm apart and water regularly until established. Plants flower from June to September and will self-seed freely if left to mature. The leaves can be harvested at any time. Borage is easy to grow and brings both beauty and function to the garden. Its deep roots help break up compacted soil, while the lush foliage and vivid flowers add texture and colour to herb beds, borders, and wildlife-friendly spaces. Let it self-seed for effortless returns year after year. Please Note: The image(s) shown are for illustrative purposes only.
