Borage

An adaptable herb, Borage is a great cover crop that self-sows in poor soil allowing low maintenance for this crop once established. Pollinators and beneficial insects enjoy its blue/purple star-like flowers that bloom early summer into the first frost. The stem, leaves, and flowers are completely edible and have been used as a herbal remedy for hundreds of years! 

***Medicinally used as a sedative and diuretic for humans. Please consult with a medical professional before consumption. Borage can be toxic when consumed by cats, dogs, and horses.
