Borage Herb

Borage Seeds produce a beautiful, culinary herb known for its refreshing cucumber-like flavor and star-shaped blooms in shades of blue and pink. The velvety, gray-green leaves add a cool, herbal note to salads, garnishes, lemonade, and summer drinks, while the edible flowers make stunning decorations for desserts and beverages. Borage is also one of the best herbs for attracting pollinators, offering abundant nectar that draws bees and beneficial insects throughout the season.

This easy-to-grow annual thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, growing 18–24 inches tall with a naturally branching habit. It is an excellent choice for herb gardens, cottage-style plantings, vegetable beds, and pollinator borders. Once established, borage self-seeds lightly, often returning the following year for a renewed display of blooms and fresh, flavorful foliage.
