Borage

These beautiful purple flower petals come from the incredible Borage plant. Not only is it full of benefits, it’s also extremely beneficial to a garden and natural ecosystems. Planting these flowers helps to attract bees and support other types of plants which require more sensitive growing conditions. Put it in tea for a lovely touch of colour, and fragrant floral notes - While helping the environment too!

Also called star flower, Borage is a weed with traces of several beneficial minerals. It's said that members of the Roman Empire would ingest a concoction of wine and Borage before battle that would promote the rush needed for combat.
