    Borago officinalis

    Bring a burst of true sky blue into your garden with Borage Blue—a cottage-garden classic that looks as enchanting as its name sounds. This heirloom annual is loved for its profusion of star-shaped blooms that hover above soft, textured foliage, creating a natural, effortless look in beds, borders, and pollinator plantings.

    Borage Blue produces a cloud of bright, nectar-rich flowers that quickly become a favorite stop for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. The blooms shift from rich, vivid blue to softer shades as they mature, adding movement and dimension to your garden’s color palette all season long. Sturdy, branching stems give the plant a full, generous presence that fills in empty spaces and pairs beautifully with almost any garden style—from informal cottage borders to structured herb and kitchen gardens.

    Whether you’re curating a pollinator haven, designing a charming country-style border, or simply looking to add a dash of natural, wildflower beauty, Borage Blue is a standout choice. Its long-lasting display, irresistible color, and old-fashioned charm make it a plant you’ll want in your garden year after year.

  • Here are simple, easy-to-follow growing tips for Borage 🌿💙

    🌞 Location & Light

    • Plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light)
    • Can tolerate a little light shade, but flowers best in sun

    🌱 Soil

    • Likes well-draining soil
    • Not too fussy – average garden soil is fine
    • Avoid spots that stay soggy 🧱

    💧 Watering

    • Keep soil evenly moist while seeds are sprouting and plants are young
    • Once established, borage is fairly drought-tolerant
    • Water deeply, then let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings 🚿

    🌾 Planting

    • Sow seeds directly in the garden after danger of frost has passed
    • Lightly cover seeds – they don’t need to be buried deeply
    • Thin seedlings so plants have room to grow and good airflow 🌬️

    🌿 Care & Maintenance

    • Borage can grow fairly large – give it space to spread
    • If stems get tall and floppy, gently stake or support them
    • Remove spent or tired-looking plants at the end of the season to keep beds tidy 🧹

    🐝 Pollinators & Companions

    • Borage is a pollinator magnet – bees especially love it 🐝
    • A great companion in the garden, drawing beneficial insects and adding beauty

    🌼 Self-Seeding

    • Borage readily self-seeds
    • Let a few flowers go to seed if you’d like it to return next year
    • If you don’t want volunteers, pull unwanted seedlings when they appear 🌱

  • Here are easy, fun ways to use borage from your garden 🌿💙

    Always make sure you’ve correctly identified the plant and avoid using if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have liver issues. When in doubt, check with a healthcare professional.

    🌸 Pretty Edible Garnish

    • Sprinkle on:

      Cakes 🧁
      Cupcakes
      Fruit salads 🍓
      Summer desserts 🍨

    🥤 Drinks & Ice Cubes

    • Freeze blooms into ice cubes:

      Place a flower in each ice tray section
      Fill with water and freeze ❄️

    🥗 Fresh, Mild Greens

    • Use small, tender leaves:

      Mixed into salads 🥗
      Chopped into cold pasta or grain salads
      On sandwiches or wraps for a fresh twist 🥪

    🍲 Cooking & Warm Dishes

      Mix with other leafy greens
