Borage Seeds

Grown as an annual in a seedbed and sown directly into the soil in early spring, these plants will produce beautiful blue flowers from June onwards. Borage is breath-taking to behold but also edible and can be added to salads ' or even as a cocktail garnish! Most importantly, however, bees love this plant and will be all over the flowers throughout the heart of summer, making it an important contributor to a garden's biodiversity. Once summer has finished, cut down the leaves and add them to the compost bin, not forgetting to add them back to the earth when they've rotted down.
