borage - organic
$ 4,50 - $ 12,00
Borago officinalis, Boraginaceae
Borage seems to contain all the freshness of the seaside in its nectar-filled blue flowers, which appear in profusion all summer and attract a manna of pollinators. It is said that "a garden without borage is like a knight without courage". It has a reputation for scaring away slugs, and in our garden, it's true... we check it regularly; it's handy when you want to let your tomato plants crawl along at ground level! A hardy annual that can be reseeded on the spot. 60-90 cm.
Not just a flowering plant, it's also a delectable leafy vegetable: very young leaves in salads and older leaves cooked, in soups, ravioli fillings or as is.
bag: 30-35 seeds
2 g : 160-170 seeds

Sow in May and June directly in the garden, as it doesn't transplant well, at a depth of 0.6 cm. After thinning (and therefore eating the small plants!), keep 30 to 60 cm between plants.
