Borage (Borago officinalis) - A favourite here at Revival Seeds, Borage offers several outstanding qualities that make it a valuable addition to the garden. It is an excellent companion plant—when grown alongside tomatoes, it can enhance fruit flavour, help repel tomato hornworm, and aid in water conservation. Borage is also highly beneficial for pollinators, earning it the common names “bee bush” and “bee bread.” The edible flowers bloom in beautiful shades of pink and blue, adding vibrant colour to the garden. Self-seeding and incredibly beneficial, Borage is a must-have on every fruit gardener’s wishlist.
