Borage – The "Herb of Courage" for Cucumber-Flavored Blooms and Soothing Medicinal Power
Shop the highest quality Borage seeds and bring the legendary "Starflower" into your healing garden. When it comes to herbs that lift the spirit, Borage is the "Cheerful Conqueror." This heirloom is famous for its brilliant blue, star-shaped flowers and its ability to "gladden the heart" and bring courage to those who consume it. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are planting a haven for the honeybees, the refreshing taste of a summer garden in every bite, and a connection to the herbal wisdom of the Middle Ages.
In the garden, Borage is a "Pollinator Superstar." This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your calm on"—offering leaves and flowers that are world-class for their cooling properties and high Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) content. Just visualize a glass of iced tea garnished with these vibrant blue flowers that taste exactly like fresh cucumber; that is the "Zing" of a summer afternoon. It is a fantastic medicinal herb for supporting healthy skin and a balanced nervous system. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get robust, fuzzy-leaved plants that deliver a "Healthy Vibe Favorite" to your kitchen and your medicine cabinet.

Borage Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Direct sow in the garden once the soil has warmed in late spring. Borage has a long taproot and does not like to be moved, so plant it where it will stay!
2. Preparation: Borage loves full sun but can handle a little afternoon shade. It prefers rich, moist soil but is famous for being able to grow almost anywhere.
3. Sowing: Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep. They need darkness to germinate, so make sure they are well-covered with soil.
4. Care: Once it starts growing, Borage is very self-sufficient. If the plant gets too "leggy," simply prune it back to encourage new, tender growth.
5. Pests and Diseases: Very hardy and often acts as a protector for nearby plants. Harvest the flowers as they open for the best flavor and "Zing!"
