Perennial/Pygmy Borage (Borago pygmaea)

Pretty perennial with course, hairy foliage and pale blue, star-shaped flowers that bees love! Flowers through summer and into autumn. Grows best in sun/part shade and does well in most soil types. Self seeds happily – a good ground cover. Reaches 25-30cm high.

Like Borago officinalis the flowers can be eaten in salads or frozen in ice cubes and added to summer drinks.
