#6100 Borage
Silvery-green leaves covered in softly bristled hairs grow on stocky 18" to 36" plants. Direct-sow in the spring: it isn't fussy about soil, but needs sun to look good! Borage tastes like cucumber but its mature leaves are a bit furry and won't suit every palate. Young, tender leaves are wonderful - use in salads, vinegars or soup stock. In mid-summer, Borage produces gentian-blue flowers, irresistible to beneficial insects and humans alike. Use in cold drinks or in decorative ice cubes. They are also lovely atop blueberry or blackberry desserts. Annual. (OP.)
