Borago officinalis
Borage officinalis is a famous bee plant, well-loved for its edible flowers. It is stunning to watch how the bees swarm them! Classed as an annual, once established it can self-sow readily. It is easy to maintain and control - not invasive in a bad way.
One of the surprising attributes is that the leaves are a prized medicinal used for generations. Gather the leaves on a dry day, just before the plants are in full bloom. Dried leaves are used as an infusion, or steeped for 10 minutes. This tea is a huge support for the adrenal glands and is gentle in action. Also a good general tonic, an anti-inflammatory, and a good support drink during convalescence.
Borage enhances the soil where it grows by releasing calcium and potassium. Great companion for tomatoes. The flavour and scent are similar to cucumbers. Large seeds are easy to direct sow in spring or fall in warmer climate zones. Cover lightly. Thrives in sunny locations with little care.
