Borage officinalis (Borago officinalis)

https://terrepromise.ca/web/image/product.template/735/image_1920?unique=cc993a9

Borage is native to southern and central Europe. Easy to grow, melliferous, it requires very little maintenance and will reseed spontaneously in your garden from year to year. Its delicate star-shaped flowers change from purple to sky blue, then to pink before declining. They will delight pollinators and bring color to your garden and your salads! Its seeds are used to make an oil rich in essential fatty acids and some call it "Elixir of Youth" because it contains a large amount of gamma linolenic acid, a rare substance in the plant world.

The vast majority of our seeds are produced on our farm. However, if the cultivation of a variety fails or if it is out of stock, we source from other seed companies to ensure an interesting selection. This is the case for this variety.
