Borage is often referred to as invasive because of its rampant self-seeding habit. However, the seedlings are easy to identify and remove so it rarely becomes a major problem. Borage leaves and flowers are edible and have a cucumber flavor. Both are best used fresh and younger leaves tend to be less hairy and more palatable.
Borage grows best in well-drained soils spanning the whole gamut of sandy, loam, and clay . It will also grow well in a wide soil pH range including mildly acid, neutral, and mildly alkaline. Regular fertilizer is not necessary to grow borage.
Sow seeds indoors, one seed per cell, 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost date. Plant borage seedlings outside after all risk of frost is over and when plants are still quite young. Growing borage in greenhouses and polytunnels is an excellent way to attract pollinators to vegetable crops grown under cover.
For strong plants and abundant flowers, grow borage in full sun to partial shade with at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. Suitable to grow in USDA zones 3 -10, borage is tolerant of high and cool temperatures but will die back with the onset of frost.
