Borage Seeds

Borage is the gardener's most generous companion—its star-shaped flowers cycle through brilliant blue, then purple, and finally pink, creating a living color show from early summer through frost. Every part earns its place in the garden: fully edible flowers brighten salads, soups, and summer drinks, while the plant itself serves as a powerful pollinator magnet and natural companion for tomatoes, squash, and strawberries. Plant it once and it will cheerfully return on its own for years.

Growing Instructions: Direct sow after last frost, or in fall in mild climates—borage resents transplanting. Thin to 18 inches. Once established, it self-seeds freely and will naturalize in the garden, returning each year without any effort on your part.
