💙 Borage (Starflower)
💙 Botanical Name: Borago officinalis
💙 Type: Hardy Annual

Borage, also known as Starflower, is a classic cottage garden herb with brilliant star-shaped blue blooms and soft, hairy foliage. Loved by bees and beneficial insects, it brings both beauty and biodiversity to your garden. The edible flowers make a charming garnish for salads and drinks, and the leaves have a mild cucumber flavour. Fast-growing and self-seeding, borage is ideal for wildlife gardens, herb patches, and companion planting.
