ORGANIC Boretsch

Botanical name: Borago officinalis

Surely you know the little star-shaped blue flowers from Grandma’s garden and have always wondered what kind of plant is behind it. The answer is as simple as it is fascinating: it is borage or cucumber herb, an annual spice plant which, due to its name, you would not have believed in such delicate flowers. You can use the plant itself to flavor salads and soups, but the edible flowers also enhance every salad as a visual highlight. Due to the height of the plant of up to 80 cm and its magical flowers, it can also keep up with the competition in the flower bed. There the flowers are also a popular destination for beneficial insects. If you want borage in your garden too, you should let the seeds swell a little before germination,
