Borage 4" Pot

Borage (Borago officinalis) is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region. It has these unique, star shaped blue flowers that are edible, pretty, and eye catching. The flowers have a lovely, cucumber-like flavor that makes them a popular addition to salads, drinks, and even desserts. The leaves of the plant are covered in tiny, soft hairs that give them a fuzzy, almost velvety texture. The leaves have a cucumber-y taste that is refreshing and versatile. You can use them in soups, stews, pesto, or even just eat them raw. Borage is high in vitamin A, C, and B- complex, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium.
