Growing Your White Borage from Seed

White Borage is an easy annual to grow from direct seed. Sow outdoors in mid to late spring after the last frost in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep and thin seedlings to a final spacing of 1-2 feet apart. Consistent moisture is beneficial, especially during establishment.

Expect germination within 5-15 days. White Borage may bloom slightly later in the season than blue borage.
