Borage is a beautiful hardy annual upright herb with rough leaves covered in silvery hairs. It boasts attractive blue flowers, which are nectar rich and highly attractive to pollinating insects, especially bees, which make distinctively flavoured borage honey. Versatile borage has a multitude of uses - add the cucumber-flavoured leaves to summer drinks and salads, grow as a companion plant to attract pollinating insects and, at the end of the season, plants make a useful bulky addition to compost heaps.The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 60cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 45cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x Borage Kew Pollination Collection seed packet (approx. 100 seeds)Delivered with growing and care instructionsFlowering period – June to AugustImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
