Borage (Borago officials)
Borage is a decorative herb with clusters of intensely blue star-shaped flowers in the summer. Borage's leaves and flowers have a cucumber flavour. Summer drinks can be made with the flowers, and they can also be candied for decoration. Salads, sandwiches, and desserts can all benefit from the leaves, which can also be sautéed like spinach. Borage is a hardy herb that thrives in most gardens as long as the soil is well drained.
