About Borage Seeds - Blue & White Mix

Borage officinalis

Also known as Starflower

Borage Blue and White Mix is a charming blend of star-shaped flowers in vivid blue and pure white, ideal for attracting pollinators to the garden. Many other plants claim to attract bees, but no plant is a sure-fire hit to bring the bees as borage is. This hardy annual thrives in sunny spots and enriches garden beds. In addition, its edible, cucumber-flavored blooms can easily be tossed into salads, making borage a must-have in the garden.
