Borago Officinalis (White Borage)

Borago Officinalis (White Borage) is a unique and elegant form of the classic borage, producing delicate white star-shaped flowers above soft, cucumber-scented foliage. This ornamental edible herb brings a softer colour palette to cottage gardens and herb beds while still offering the same pollinator-friendly benefits as the blue form. Its airy growth habit and continual flowering make it a standout feature in both decorative and productive garden settings.

Highly attractive to bees and beneficial insects, White Borage is an excellent companion plant for vegetable gardens, helping to improve pollination and overall garden health. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal care once established. The edible flowers can be used fresh in salads, drinks, and garnishes, adding both beauty and a mild cucumber flavour. A versatile and eye-catching addition for edible landscapes and pollinator gardens.
