By SHANE BOWIE

An annual herbaceous plant, Borage (Borago officinalis) is grown for its culinary and medicinal uses. Originally from the Mediterranean, it has now spread all across the globe. The star-shaped flowers and bristly leaves of the borage plant are its most distinctive features.
Some important features and applications of borage are as follows:
- If you're looking for an edible garnish for your salads, soups, or drinks, try using bordage leaves or flowers.
- The leaves are a delightful complement to recipes due to their gentle cucumber-like flavor.
- The possible health benefits of bordage have led to its usage in traditional medicine. Essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is abundant in it.
- It has a long history of usage in the treatment of inflammation, respiratory problems, and skin ailments. But before you use it for therapeutic purposes, you must consult with a healthcare practitioner.
- Borage is a popular companion plant in gardens due to its ability to draw pollinators, such as bees, which improve pollination for neighboring plants.
- As an annual plant, bordage is commonly farmed since it is easy to grow. It does best in full sun and soil that drains well.
- The plant is a lovely addition to gardens due to its hairy stems and leaves as well as its bright blue blossoms.
- Borage leaves can occasionally be steeped into a herbal tea. It is said that the tea might help calm people down and perhaps act as a light sedative.
- For pollinator-friendly gardens, borage is a popular choice since it attracts a variety of helpful insects, such as bees and butterflies.
