Hundreds of flower species are edible, but few of them are eaten, and used as borage flowers. These small blue to purple, and some times white flowers aren’t just safe to eat, they are edible, make colorful additions to salads and many dishes, make tasty and attractive garnishes, also and make wonderful decorations both in the garden and as a cut flower indoors. Borage flower come from borage plant. This Mediterranean native herb also sometimes called a starflower, and bee bread. It is used in medicinal purposes as well as many garden uses. Not only is borage a beautiful addition to our gardens it has many benefits too. Borage is an excellent companion plant. Borage flower will attract bees as well as other beneficial bugs, and provides a valuable source of nectar for them. As gardeners we know how much important pollinators are to our garden.
