Description: 1oz BLUE STAR BORAGE Herb Flower Seeds Borago Officinalis (Aprx 1400 Seeds) Borage is an annual that is native to Europe and the Middle East. Plants are large and sprawling, and the leaves are covered with bristly hairs. Young borage leaves are eaten like spinach, and the blue flowers are edible too. Borage is also known as bee's bread because honey bees love the nectar. Borage thrives in partial shade or full sun and well drained, rich soil; it can also grow very well in poor soil or dry conditions. Since it does not transplant well, direct seeding is the best option. After the last frost of spring when the soil has warmed, sow seeds 1/4" deep and 12-15" apart in rows 18" apart. Germination should occur within 7-14 days. As a companion plant to strawberries or tomatoes, borage improves pollination, discourages pests, and attracts bees.
