Description: Borage is an easy, fast-growing annual herb with vivid blue flowers and the flavor and scent of cucumbers. While it is considered an herb, it's often grown as a flower in vegetable gardens where it is considered a good companion plant for tomatoes, squash, and strawberries. After planting your borage in early spring, its blooms will emerge in June and July, hanging in downward facing clusters. Both the flowers and the leaves of the plant are edible, with a unique flavor similar to a cucumber. The plant is hairy all over its stems and leaves. The flowers are star-like, with five, narrow, triangular-pointed petals. Borage is relatively unfussy when it comes to growing conditions. You can eat the leaves, raw or cooked, and the flowers, raw, as a garnish or in drinks. Borage can bloom from late spring through summer and will reach maturity in about eight weeks, at which point you can harvest the leaves and flowers as need.
