Herb Borage is a distinctive aromatic herb prized for its refreshing cucumber-like flavor profile and exceptional ornamental appeal. This heirloom variety produces tall plants bearing distinctive star-shaped blue flowers that create striking visual interest while functioning as a powerful pollinator magnet. The defining sensory characteristic of Borage is its authentic cucumber aroma and flavor, which establishes a unique foundation for beverage infusions, culinary garnishes, and specialty applications. The edible flowers deliver the same cucumber-forward profile as the foliage, making them valuable garnishes for drinks, salads, and desserts where delicate floral presentation enhances visual appeal. The variety's aromatic intensity makes it suitable for infused beverages and contemporary culinary applications seeking distinctive flavor complexity. Borage's exceptional pollinator-attracting properties distinguish it as a dual-purpose herb. The vibrant blue star-shaped flowers create visual drama while supporting essential bee, butterfly, and beneficial insect populations. The plant's substantial height and abundant flowering establish strong garden presence, making it invaluable for pollinator-focused gardens and ecological landscape design. Important consideration: Borage leaves contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids and are not certified pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free. The herb should be reserved for external applications only, including infusions for skin care, herbal preparations, and craft uses. The edible flowers remain suitable for culinary garnishing and beverage applications. Each packet contains Non-GMO, heirloom seeds selected for genetic purity and reliable germination. The variety thrives in well-drained soil with full sun exposure, where it establishes vigorous growth and continuous flowering throughout the growing season. Borage is essential for pollinator gardeners, herbalists, and landscape professionals seeking ornamental herbs with authentic ecological credentials. Our sustainably sourced seeds arrive in eco-conscious, fully recyclable packaging designed to preserve seed viability while minimizing environmental impact.
