This is not a plant that can hold itself up, requiring lots of them planted closely enough to hold each other up to prevent lodging in wind and rain. If planted sparsely, it will fall twice, trailing along the ground like a squash till it forms a right angle on the ground which supports secondary branches that rise about a foot or two and each have a flower cluster. So it wants less spacing than specified in available literature, or it will only reach half of its described height. Its fine roots do not like transplanting, so it works best sown directly outdoors after last frost rather than earlier in seed starting trays. I got a high percentage of seeds sprouting indoors and outdoors, and lost some of the ones from indoors when transplanting them. The outdoor planted seeds are all doing great, though flowering will be a couple weeks later. Described as a honeybee magnet, mine are not attracting honeybees despite bee hives nearby.

Would have been nice, but can’t control Mother Nature.

The flowers aren’t big but they grow. I put a handful in my strawberry planters and after they bloomed I moved the planters as they took over the ground. They have large leafy vegetation and small flowers. I feed them to my rabbits as well. Germination is high and color is different than what I normally have around the house so it adds a splash of blue everywhere. They were still growing into November this past year.

I ordered a lot of these seeds. All I wanted to do was teach my students how to sow seeds in trays.I was miffed that the seeds I ordered were out of date, but the lesson was coming up and I didn’t have time to complain or reorder; so into the trays they went.120 students. Each table got 25-50 seeds, each table had 2-4 students.I accounted for the possible low germination; this was an unnecessary precaution.We had borage sprouts everywhere. The seeds must’ve escaped because borage showed up in other plants in the classroom. I sent potfulls of the plants home and still more sprouted. It came out of every soil-like substance in the room.I taught the “up-potting” lesson and we still had more borage. I started accosting faculty to take the started plants home. I showed videos to anyone that stopped by. I became a nuisance. There was still more borage.I started giving envelopes of seeds to students for family and friends and strangers and anyone.I still have seeds left.Then I gave up and started putting the plants around our raised beds and in the planters around our school. The lesson on sowing was in February. It is April 7th and we have blooms. And it appears as though we will have many blooms all summer.In my city we had no borage before this year. Choices I made were not exactly perfect, but we will have borage forever now.

I had no idea that an ounce of these seeds would be such a large volume! I really wanted borage for my pollinators but could not find it in stores near me.These have been wonderful seeds really. Germination has been near perfect, though I failed at starting them indoors, they sprouted and just stagnated with cotyledons. They never grew their true leaves, and eventually just died. But outside they've done great. We had a rough spring that caused late planting so they're just now setting their second set of true leaves, but boy are these some big, healthy looking seedlings! Should I actually ever run out I would certainly buy them again from OutsidePride, I plan to order more seeds next year.

I planted some of this stuff in my garden last year because I heard it was suppose to be like a vitamin shot for the crops and I believe it was. Last year I put up 43 pints of stewed tomatoes,35 pints of tomato sauce and 26 quarts of tomato juice. I planted clover and blackberries for my bees, but they ignore it because they're just all over the borage so next year I'm planting more of it out in the woods where I don't use much so next year I should have a pretty good honey harvest. This year in my garden I didn't have to plant borage because it grew like crazy from the seeds from last years plants and things I usually have a hard time growing is doing really well this year so I reckon it's because of the forest of borage that grew from it's own reseeding. So with that said, I believe borage is an excellent aid in the garden, but I would suggest putting a large tray or plastic around the plant to catch the seeds when the plant dies off and save them for another area or give them to family and friends or you'll have an ever growing borage patch
