About this variety
Edible flowers with a cucumber taste.
Big borage plants bear hundreds of small flowers, mostly blue with some pink, over a long season, and bees and butterflies visit them.
Add the mild cucumber-flavored flowers to salads, float them on cold drinks or desserts, or freeze them in ice cubes.
Flowers about 50–60 days from sowing. Open-pollinated. Certified organic seed.
