INTRODUCING BORAGE SEEDS
Borage herb, or Borago officinalis, is a plant with a multitude of benefits. It is easy to grow, with its leaves and flowers offering a refreshing flavor. They are the perfect addition to salads and beverages. Beyond culinary uses, borage is known in the field of natural medicine, providing anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. Native to the Mediterranean region, borage is very adaptable, grown in USDA hardiness zones 2 to 11.
PLANTING BORAGE SEEDS
Plant borage seeds in the garden after the last frost in spring, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier to get a head start. The seeds should be sown about 1/4 inch deep into the soil. They prefer a sunny location. Seeds germinate best in warm soil, typically sprouting within a week or two.
MAINTAINING BORAGE PLANTS
The borage plant is quite easy to maintain and tolerant to drought once rooted well. It benefits from occasional watering, particularly when dry periods occur, to encourage better growth and flowering. Borage can grow tall, so in windy areas, it’s a good idea to use some support for the plants. Regular leaf and flower harvesting encourages continuous growth. It will prevent the plant from becoming too leggy as well.
