Borage Seeds - Starflower - Heirloom Non-GMO Herb Seeds for Planting an Herb Garden - 100 Seeds - Borago Officinalis - by RDR Seeds

I got these borage seeds as a companion for my tomato plants (borage confuses moths that lay the caterpillar eggs), and also to bring in more bees. I can’t say yet how well these plants will do that, but I can say I had 100% germination from the seeds.Kind of funny: the pack of seeds has a note on it, telling the buyer that if you have any germination problems to contact them and they’ll make it right. However, there was no need. I’m happy.

These flowers were bought to protect my tomatoes from hornworms. These paired with growing fresh garlic work like a charm against the little boogers. I did not buy them for show and I'm glad I didn't because they aren't that beautiful. They take forever to bloom which led me to believe that the flower was going to be something to brag about. Not really. The foliage it grows is okay and I guess edibble. I never tried eating it. But the flowers face down so you can't sit and enjoy them. They attract no pollinators what so ever (thank goodness I have other flowers growing to attract the pollinators for my garden). But hey, they did what I wanted them to do so five stars.

Sprouted in about a week. The plants haven't matured yet, but so far, so good.Edit: These plants came up, but they never throve, never bloomed. Probably my fault. Better luck next year.

I planted these all over the place and ate some too. It's hairy. They say it is like spinach, but I found it closer to between lettuce and celery.

Good germination rate. Pix show them at 35 days. The ground planted ones are the middle row. It's the big leaves in the potted ones.

Very good germination rate, this plant doesn't like being transplanted though!

The seeds all sprouted and now are in the outside in a new garden area, I look forward to see what these do.

Exactly as expected. Germinated easily, and are the right plant. Thank you!
