Borage (Borago officianalis), also known asbee plant, or starflower is an annual herb in the flowering plant family Boraginaceae.  It is well-known for its uses in preparing green sauces, garnishing salads, and adding honey to sweeten desserts.  

The leaves and stems are rough and hairy,  giving the plant a somewhat fuzzy look and adding interesting texture to your garden.  The flower features 5 separate sepals and 5 united petals with stamens attached and 4 nutlets ( a seed covered by a stony layer).   Borage is non-invasive, its flowers are a brilliant blue, and it blooms continuously.  Best of all, borage leaves are edible and the plant is a great pollinator. Plants can reach 3 feet tall and 4 feet across, so give them plenty of room.

A native to the Mediterranean region, borage has naturalized in Europe, including Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
