How to Grow Borage

Easily grown from seed sown directly or into seed strays in late winter, and it will self seed if left.

Preferring a free draining soil and a sunny position remove flower heads before seed sets to prevent spreading if required. Also used as a cottage garden plant.

This is a plant that can also be used as a fertilizer, the whole plant can be soaked in water and the resultant ‘tea’ be used as a liquid fertilizer.

Borage has a long tap root and therefore is difficult to transplant once established, smaller seedlings are best for transplanting.
