Native to the Middle East, this ancient herb offers dazzling and tasty, star-shaped flowers and edible, cucumber-flavored foliage. This frost-tender annual will easily reseed itself and reappear in your garden every year. It’s said that borage grown among strawberries will increase the yield of fruit! \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"borage-blue","title":"Borage Seeds, Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW237560630 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW237560630 BCX0\"\u003eBlue borage fills the garden with a galaxy of glittering azure stars, each bloom holding a tiny drop of nectar with the cool essence of honey and cucumber. Blooming in about 50 to 60 days, this easygoing herb has long been treasured as both a culinary and medicinal plant, believed to have Mediterranean roots and praised as far back as the first century, when Dioscorides wrote that it could “comfort the heart and purge melancholy.” Honeybees adore it, and the plants seem to hum constantly with beneficial insect life. The flowers are refreshing in salads, lovely as garnish, and wonderful for cooling teas, while the cucumber-flavored leaves can be cooked or used in drinks and herbal preparations. A bright, generous old herb that brings beauty, usefulness, and a whole lot of good garden energy. \u003cstrong\u003eWarning: This plant is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511173873950,"sku":"HB139","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/borage_blue.jpg?v=1782397854"},{"product_id":"borage-white","title":"Borage Seeds, White","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW88779200 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW88779200 BCX0\"\u003eThis rare white-flowered sister to classic blue borage brings a softer, dreamier glow to the herb garden, with alabaster blooms that seem to float above the foliage like little white stars. Blooming in about 50 to 60 days and growing 2 to 3 feet tall, it’s an easy annual for zones 3–9 and a fine companion plant to tuck throughout the garden wherever pollinators and beneficial insects are wanted. The flowers are edible and carry that gentle cucumber-like sweetness borage is loved for, making them beautiful in teas, as garnishes, or scattered fresh over summer dishes. Young leaves are also useful, especially cooked like spinach. A graceful, useful, and quietly magical herb with plenty of old-fashioned garden charm. \u003cspan class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW237560630 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW237560630 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning: This plant is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511720247582,"sku":"HB299","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/borage_white.jpg?v=1782403920"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/collections\/Borage_LSS_DSC_1577_1.jpg?v=1783528068","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/collections\/borage-seeds.oembed","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
