How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Borage develops taproots, so it does not like to be transplanted. With this said, direct sow in the garden when temperatures are around a minimum of 65F. If using starter pots to begin indoors, we definitely recommend using biodegradable CowPots to prevent root shock. Produces white, edible, star shaped flowers.
