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","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/borage-blue","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
