Everything you need to know before you sow.

Why are borage flowers called star flowers?

Each blue flower has five pointed petals arranged in a star-like shape, giving the plant its distinctive floral appearance.

Can borage fill an informal gap between larger plants?

Yes. Its spreading 18–30 inch growth can fill open areas in herb beds and informal borders when given sufficient space.

What makes borage foliage different from many herbs?

Borage flowers are well known for attracting bees and other flower-visiting insects, making the plant useful in pollinator-oriented areas.

Can borage be grown mainly as a flowering ornamental?

Yes. Although classified as an herb, its blue star-shaped flowers and spreading form also suit ornamental garden displays.

Are borage leaves and flowers commonly used as food?
