Borage

 Borage is a beautiful and useful herb that self sows every year in the Demo Garden. Since bees love borage, a plant or two can help attract these important pollinators to the garden. Photo by Les Dublin

Beautiful photo! What are some uses for borage? Does it grow best from seed or should I find a seedling at a garden store? How big does it get?

Wow! Thanks.

It's best (and easy) to grow borage from seed. It gets about two or three feet tall. You can put the young leaves and flowers in salad, but watch out for the bees!

Wistfully, the answer is often something that is so effortless it would only require a short moment of time to secure into place, but is ofttimes left out.
