About Borage
Borage is an effortless annual with striking blue star-shaped flowers. The cucumber-flavored leaves and flowers are edible, and it is a powerful pollinator magnet that self-seeds freely year after year.
Direct sow after last frost — hates transplanting. Self-seeds so aggressively you plant it once and it returns every year. Great companion plant for tomatoes and strawberries. Harvest flowers daily to encourage more blooms.
Gardening in Northwest Territories
The NWT has an arctic to subarctic climate. Only the very hardiest crops survive the extremely short summer. Gardening under cover is the primary approach.
