Borage has been cultivated for centuries, and is known for its vibrant purple, star-shaped flowers and spiky, green leaves. Fast-growing, this variety has a bushy growth and tolerates poor soil conditions. Its flowers attract pollinators, making it a beneficial plant for biodiversity in the garden. Borage has a mild, cucumber-like flavor, making it a popular addition to salads, beverages, and desserts. Fresh salads are a great dish to feature Borage leaves, and the flowers can be used as a colorful garnish in cocktails or as a decorative element on cakes. Traditionally, Borage has been used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties, cardiovascular support, respiratory health benefits, hormonal balance, and more. This herb variety is a must-have for both herbalists and home gardeners. As an heirloom variety, Borage is open-pollinated, which means it can be saved and replanted each season, maintaining its genetic integrity and traits over generations.
