Borage Seeds

Once established, borage will self-seed and you'll never need to buy seeds again. Besides the beautiful little blue blowers and being edible, borage can improve soil and help the vigor of tomatoes. Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of California has a page detailing the benefits.

This is my first time trying to grow Borage, and these seeds made it easy.The seeds I received look and smell very fresh, and they had a 100% germination rate. This is almost unheard of. I buy lots of organic seeds from several different online vendors, and these are definitely among the best. I'll be looking to buy more seeds from this vendor next season.I also liked that the packaging included instructions for every growing zone. I'm in zone 9B, and these seeds germinated within a few days without any need for cold stratification. They have grown into strong seedlings.The price for these seeds is comparable to organic Borage seeds from other vendors I have used when measured by the number of seeds in a packet, and the germination rate makes these a good deal.So far, I recommend these seeds and this vendor. Happy growing!

This Borage, Heirloom Seed Pack has great labeling and clear instructions whi h is great for new growers. It comes with a lot of seeds that appear in very good condition. These are easy to plant and produce a beautiful flower. The Value on this is Decent!

I’ve had borage leaves grown by a hydroponic farm. They are refreshing and taste like cucumbers, although fuzzy. Nice in salads or drinks. I want to try growing borage in my small personal hydro garden myself. Nice packet, non-gmo & USA, with lots of info and QR links on the back. Will update if any issues with these seeds. They need to imprint the pack with the harvest date.

• planted May 15, 2024• popped thru the soil on May 23, 2024A little over a week to pop up. Perfect! No complaints as of yet to speak of.

I probably could have sowed these borage seeds directly into the ground, but I like to test all review seeds in ideal conditions with peat pellets, humidity, and a heat mat. Borage weren’t the first to sprout, but they grow quickly into strong little plants once they’re up! Will be transplanting soon.

These annual herbs are easy to grow and can be direct seeded in the garden or started in trays and then moved to the garden after the last frost date. There are about 60 seeds in this packet, so you get a decent amount of seeds for the money.I love putting borage flowers in my salads and they have always added a unique spark of blue to my raised beg gardens. The leaves are edible as well and give a subtle hint of cucumber and are great as a garnish for lemonades.I am glad that the provided seeds are non-GMO, and grown in the USA, although they are not certified organic. I am disappointed, however, that the package is not printed with packed dates or expiration dates. So, there is no way to tell if these seeds are fresh, and for approximately how long they are viable to plant.For the price they are a decent value, but I wish there were date stamps on the packaging. If I have germination issues, I will return to update this review.

Sprouted promptly , can’t wait to see how it grows. Planted it for the joy and feeding of my hard working tomato pollinating bumble bee friends. :)

So far so good, the germination process took two weeks but the green buds peaked through. Happy with the progression of growth.

Not all the seeds sprouted

Ordered two packs, only received one so I contacted the seller and they shipped a second extremely fast. Good germination rate too!

I received borage seeds and was disappointed that they never germinated. I planted them directly in the ground and tried a couple times when they didn't take.

I had been looking for some borage seeds, I was happily surprised to find these. Germination rate is pretty good so far. You get a lot of seeds for a good price. I'll be buying more seeds from this company in the future.

High quality seeds from a high quality brand! I'm sure my borage will come back next year with how much it has developed. Great seed company!

They germinated very quickly.

I had difficulty making them bloom. I followed the rather complex germination tip on the back and waited the required number of weeks for cold stratification. Unfortunately, I never saw any real sprouts despite constant care. I was looking forward to transplanting these outside for ground cover so I was a little disappointed.

I have used this brand of seeds before and so far have not been disappointed. These borage seeds come in lovely packaging with lots of information. I followed the planting directions and now have a good yield of flowers growing in several places around my yard. Very happy with these and recommend!

First I love borage, the beautiful blue is gorgeous and the reason I rushed to get these seeds. I basically threw them into the garden and some are already starting to sprout. The package came nicely sealed and easy to read. Borage can become invasive so careful where you seed them. So far I'm happy with these seeds.

This is my first time with Borage and it's so satisfying!I purchased a lot of seeds this year online and it has been mostly disappointing....except THESE seeds are giving me real hope that maybe I have a green thumb after all. It's so satisfying to see these germinate so quickly. I'll be transplanting these seedlings into large containers on my deck, and also experiment with a few in my yard too. I get LOTS of deer, so hoping the fuzzy leaves may dissuade them from gobbling them up (foolish hope, I know....since the deer eat everything except invasives!) Still, I'm happy to share with the deer. The does have been busy and now have 2 frolicking fawns dashing through around the yard right now. gotta make sure mama is well nourished!

These seeds germinate quickly and I'm looking forward to beautiful blue blooms soon.

I'm in zone 9B, subtropical coastal Texas, and recently planted these in pots with a mix of potting soil, coir, native clay, and compost. At the time of planting the average temperature highs were in the low 90s, and some days have had a heat index of 110F. After six days, eight of the fourteen seeds I started have sprouted, and all but one of the sprouts looks very healthy!These seeds are germinating better than I expected, and the seedlings are looking very happy! This packet comes with plenty of seeds, and the seeds look to be very fresh and of great quality- I didn't find any withered or too-small seeds in what I examined when picking out the correct number of seeds for my pots.I can't wait for my borage to flower, it's such a beautiful plant!Borage Seeds Pack 1.50 G - Over 75 Non-GMO Heirloom Borage Seeds for Planting Herbs in Individual Seed Packet, Herbs Seeds for Planting Home Garden Indoor & Outdoor Gardening

I love borage and don't always find it at garden centers when the weather warms. I've grown it a few times from a seedling and hoped it would self-seed, but no luck so far. This packet is paper and has instructions for planting. I opted to sow right in the garden around my vegetables as a companion planting. The flowers are lovely (and edible), and I can't wait for them to sprout and thrive.

I used to have borage grow yearly, but it faded out. I got this to replenish it.HOW THIS COMESThese come in a paper envelope with good instructions.GERMINATE?My initial germination is very good.HOW I AM USING THISI am using this by sprouting the seeds then transplanting into small pots. When big enough, I will transplant in the garden. Once they are big enough, we use leaves and flowers in salads. They taste a little like cucumber.THE BOTTOM LINEThese seeds come in a nice package, marked well, and germinate well.MY RATINGFIVE STARS so far. I will update at the end of summer on end results.

Just getting these planted, so Ill update when they come up, but the seeds all seem protected which packaged and in good shape.

These are high quality heirloom seeds! Great brand. There are many in the packet, great value! They have already started to sprout in my garden!

These Borage seeds were fast sprouters for me, and the seeds themselves look really good - no duds here. I soaked mine overnight, and found that I'm seeing some germination just four days later - pretty early for a typical plant. Hopefully these will grow up to be large and happy plants, and if the beginning is any indication, I'm going to be a happy planter.

I am very pleased with this package of borage seeds. The package says they are non-GMO, heirloom seeds. The package is attractive, has germination tips, and a description of the plants and their flowers. The package states that there are approximately 75 seeds. My package held 88 seeds. All of the seeds look very healthy and I'm excited to get them into the garden.
