Organic Borage Plant - Starflower Plant - Pollinator Friendly with Edible Flowers
This ORGANIC Borage plant in a 2-3" pot is an excellent choice to support the bees with its gorgeous, vividly blue-flowered herb. Borage, also known as Borago officinalis, blue borage, bee-bread, starwort, or tailwort, is a member of the Boraginaceae or borage and forget-me-not family. The plant is easy to grow, and its star-shaped flowers and young leaves have a refreshing cucumber-like scent and flavor, making them an attractive addition to salads, baked goods, lemonade, and other summer snacks.
Practitioners have used borage flowers and leaves to make borage tea as herbal medicine, and the dried borage can be saved for later use. Cosmetic companies sometimes substitute oil from borage seeds for evening primrose oil. Permaculture enthusiasts consider the borage plant as an "accumulator," a plant that accumulates nutrients and adds them to the soil. Additionally, borage is an excellent companion plant, living mulch, and habitat for beneficial insects and pollinators.
The edible borage flowers and leaves have a flavor similar to cucumber, making them perfect for adding color and unique flavor to your salads or refreshing beverages this summer. The ideal temperatures for borage germination are between 70°-80°F, with seedlings expected to emerge in 7-14 days. Plant the borage in full sun, 8-10 inches apart, in well-draining soil. The borage will reach maturity in 60 days, and although they can survive a light frost, they only remain hardy to 50°F.
Another advantage of growing borage is its deer resistance. Deer do not share our love for this plant, making it a great deer-resistant option for your garden or outdoor space. Borage is one of the few plants to produce naturally blue flowers, which can be used to add blue to your cut flower bouquets. Additionally, you can press or dry the borage flowers for crafts or art projects.
In summary, this ORGANIC Borage plant is a versatile and beneficial addition to any garden or outdoor space. Its edible flowers and leaves, easy-to-grow nature, and deer resistance make it an excellent choice for both practical and aesthetic purposes. Whether you're looking to support pollinators, enhance your culinary creations, or add a touch of natural beauty to your surroundings, the borage plant is a reliable and rewarding option.
