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 Delaware
Delaware has a humid subtropical climate moderated by the Atlantic. Mild winters and warm summers support a long growing season for mid-Atlantic vegetables.
