Borago officinalis

March 14, 2018 By

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Annuals for Sun

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Borago officinalis

Family: (Boraginaceae)

(A) to 2′.  Common Borage can, according to John Gerard’s Herbal, “make men and women glad and merry, driving away all sadnesse, dulnesse and melancholy.”  Whilst the clusters of bright blue and white, star-like flowers in spring and summer will certainly bring a smile to even the most curmudgeonly of gardeners.  Borage is also cultivated mainly for its cucumber-flavoured leaves and flowers, used as a garnish for salads, and is a vital ingredient in Pimms No. 2, the drink of Wimbledon.  Sun.  3 & T1
