Borage

Borago officinalis

Borage (Borago officinalis) is an annual herb known for its striking star-shaped blue flowers and cucumber-flavored leaves. Native to the Mediterranean region, this plant is easy to grow and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Borage is often used in culinary dishes, herbal remedies, and as a companion plant due to its ability to attract pollinators like bees. It also helps improve soil health, making it a valuable addition to both vegetable and flower gardens.

How to Germinate Borage

How to Germinate Borage (Borago officinalis)
  • Sow borage seeds directly outdoors in early spring, after the danger of frost has passed.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in well-draining soil and cover lightly with soil.
  • Choose a sunny location; borage thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
  • Keep the soil moist during the germination period, which usually takes 7-14 days.
  • Space seeds or thin seedlings to about 12 inches apart to allow room for mature growth.
  • Borage can also be started indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, but it does not transplant well due to its long taproot.

Additional Tips
  • Borage prefers well-draining soil and can tolerate poor soil conditions, though it grows best in fertile soil.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as borage is drought-tolerant once established.
  • Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and reduce weed competition.
  • Harvest young leaves for culinary use and flowers for garnishing when they are in full bloom.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooming throughout the growing season.
