My neighbor is a bee keeper so im support of all the lovely pollinators I added these as a nice addition to my garden.
This plant is an amazing pollinator plant, and a great green manure plant too! The flowers are abundant all summer long and bees love it! The flowers are amazing in salad and have a cucumber flavor. When you harvest the flowers, you can leave the seed on the plant so it can reseed itself. Really fun to grow!
The flowers are beautiful the way they sit and they’re beautiful blue color. This plant just keeps getting better. A big pollinator attractor. Bees love it. It gets better it’s edible and it taste similar to cucumbers. The last thing about this is it repels the cabbage looper that attacks squash, cucumbers, broccoli, kale and it also repels the tomato horn worm. I love this little plant.
I don't have any problems with worms now that I grow this pretty plant with my tomatoes. Between the Borage and mint i was bug free, and everything smelled minty!
Borage is super easy to grow and is a great bee attractor. If you want bees in your garden, plant borage and they will be buzzing.
