A blank A6 sized card with matching envelope and borage seeds to send, sow and grow. not given Native to the Mediterranean, borage grows wild in wasteland, thriving in poor soil, offering a continuous supply of nectar to bees as the flowers immediately replenish themselves once depleted. Not just enjoyed by pollinators, borage has captivated people throughout history, believed to dispel melancholy and bring courage. Considered sacred by the Druids, soldiers would consecrate their weapons with the star shaped petals and drink borage-infused wine before battle. Seeds can be sown indoors/outdoors in spring in well draining, poor quality compost. Cut flowers to encourage new growth and extend flowering season. Add borage flowers to salads, soups and freeze into ice cubes and add to drinks. We also believe in planting for the planet which is why our seeds are sourced from organic British farms and our cards and seed boxes are assembled by hand from 100% recycled paper and card and Fsc certified cardboard - compeltely free from plastic.
