Description
Borago officinalis
Long blooming bee powerhouse with delightfully cucumber-flavored flowers.
Honeybees go wild for borage! Plants bloom all summer long and will self-sow for more flowers next year. Both the scratchy leaves and the dainty flowers are edible and have a pleasant cucumber flavor. The scratchy spines on the leaves disappear when cooked. Plants grow about 3’ tall and 2’ wide.
Seeds grown by Quel Ranch in Garden City, Idaho.
15 seeds.
Directions: Direct seed outdoors two weeks before last frost, or start indoors 6 weeks before last frost and transplant outside after frost.
