Borago officinalis

Sow Outdoors: Directly sow seeds after the last frost in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Space seeds about 6 inches apart and cover lightly with soil.

Germination: Keep the soil moist, and germination typically occurs in 7–14 days.

Thinning: Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to about 12 inches apart.

Sunlight and Care: Borage thrives in full sun and prefers slightly dry soil. Water regularly, but avoid waterlogging. This plant is very low maintenance and often self-seeds.

Borage is known for its blue, star-shaped flowers and is often grown as an herb in the garden for its edible leaves and flowers, which have a cucumber-like flavor. It also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.
