Borage Seeds ~ Blue Flowers ~ Pollinator Friendly ~ Butterfly Habitat ~ Florida Grown 100 seeds

☀️ Grown on our Central Florida Homestead ~ Florida Licensed Seed Dealer ~ Germination Tested ~ Borage is a pollinator powerhouse and heirloom annual herb grown for its beautiful blue, star-shaped flowers and edible leaves. These flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making them an excellent companion plant for tomatoes, squash, and strawberries. Borage flowers and leaves are edible with a light cucumber flavor, perfect for garnishing drinks, salads, or desserts. Known as a medicinal and culinary herb for centuries, Borage is easy to grow in garden beds, cottage gardens, and containers — a must-have for bee-friendly gardens.

☀️ FLORIDA GARDENER TIPS:
Borage prefers cooler weather in Florida and the Southeast. Its the perfect flower to feed the bees during the cooler winter months. For best results, sow in late fall through early spring. Plants thrive in full sun but will tolerate light afternoon shade. Borage reseeds easily, ensuring blooms return year after year in pollinator and herb gardens.
