Sowing Instructions :

In a mostly Sunny to a lightly shaded area, scatter seeds on the surface right along the Waterline of a stream with clean slowly moving water. Some seed will fall on the soil and of course some will fall into very shallow water. Seed can also be started in a container filled with 5-7.5 cm (2-3″) of an open growing mix. Sow seeds on the surface and lightly cover with the growing medium to no more than 6 mm (1/4″) deep. Set the container in a tray/saucer containing Water. Never let the growing medium dry out, do this by always ensuring the tray/saucer is filled with Water. At the same time remember to change the Water in the tray/saucer regularly to prevent it from becoming stagnant. Harvest stems by cutting them off close to the soil line once they reach about 15-20 cm (6-8″) in length.

We believe that Borage is often overlooked and definitely underused in the garden, as it makes an outstanding ornamental plant.Flowers are used as a garnish for salads or are candied, while the leaves are used to flavour claret punch. Borage may establish itself in the garden by self-sowing or by animals distributing the seeds. Annual. Seeds/Package Untreated Non GMO
