Easily-grown annual with bright-blue flowers bees love. Many gardeners sow these here and there around the garden to make a bright spot, draw pollinators, and harvest for salads, pesto, and garnish. The flowers and leaves are used in summer drinks to give a slight cucumber/watermelon flavor and because the sap contains a cooling mucilage.  Soothing to the stomach and digestion in teas or food, the leaves are harvested young before they become prickly. A stalk of this in iced drinks is so refreshing on a hot day. An old adage recommends "Borage for courage." 50 seeds
