I planted these Borage seeds in early spring, and they�ve really brightened up my garden! The Starflower variety has a unique look, and the vibrant blue flowers attract pollinators. The plants are easy to grow, and I noticed a real improvement in the variety of insects visiting. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to add a touch of color and life to their garden!
I was surprised by how quickly these seeds sprouted. Within just a few weeks, the plants were already flowering. The blue star-shaped blooms are stunning, and they�ve been a real hit with bees and butterflies. I�ll definitely be growing more of these next year.
The Borage Starflower seeds were a great choice for my garden. They grew tall and produced beautiful flowers with a lovely fragrance. I was especially pleased by how low-maintenance they were. Just planted them, watered, and watched them thrive.
I love the look of these plants in my herb garden! The blue flowers have a lovely star shape, and the leaves are edible, making them perfect for garnishes. Plus, they�re very easy to care for. I�ve had zero issues with pests or diseases.
I really like the borage plants, but I will say that they took a bit longer to grow than I expected. That said, the flowers are absolutely beautiful once they bloom, and they make a striking addition to my garden. Just be patient and they will reward you!
