A FAVOURITE garnish for salads and summer drinks, Borage has an enticing, cucumber-like flavour and very attractive, star-shaped blue flowers that are a magnet for bees and butterflies.
Planting
Plant in well-drained soil or compost, in full sun.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather. Protect from slugs and snails. Self seeds easily.
Height & Spread:
60 – 90cm × 30 – 60cm.
