Borago officinalis — borage

Borago officinalis, commonly called borage or starflower, is a vigorous aromatic annual famed for its brilliant blue, star-shaped flowers and cool, cucumber-like flavour. A favourite with bees and cooks alike, it anchors our borage range within the culinary herb collection.

History & origin

Borage is native to the Mediterranean and has been grown since antiquity. The Romans added it to wine, and medieval herbalists believed it could lift the spirits — the old saying “borage for courage” captures its long reputation as a herb of comfort and good cheer. It has been a cottage-garden mainstay across Europe for centuries.

Its name is often traced to the Latin borra, meaning rough hair, a reference to the bristly texture that covers its stems and leaves.

Botanical characteristics

Borage is a robust annual reaching 60–100 cm, with hairy, grey-green leaves and nodding sprays of vivid blue (occasionally pink or white) five-petalled flowers. Both the young leaves and the edible flowers carry a fresh, cucumber-like taste, making the blooms a charming addition to summer drinks and salads. A generous self-seeder, it sits among our annual herbs and earns its place among our aromatic herbs.

Growing Borago officinalis from seed

Borage could hardly be easier: sow directly where it is to grow from spring, in full sun and well-drained soil, and thin to give the large plants room. It grows fast, flowers freely and self-seeds happily for next year. Few herbs do more for pollinators — bees visit the flowers constantly all summer long. Our herb growing guide and herb sowing calendar cover timing and care in full.
