★ How to Grow Borage from Seed (Complete Step by Step Guide)

[@SuperNaht]

One of my favourite flowers! I think I read somewhere that the nectar stores of borage refill faster than most other flowering plants (minutes rather than days) which is why the bees like them so much.

[@madmanjim795]

Awesome! I recently bought Borage and 4/4 seeds have germinated. Never grown it before so this was a timely video!!

[@SJ-re6et]

Excellent video! Thanks for showing through the growth of the plant. Most people just plop them in the soil and nothing more for their videos. I'm growing this for the first time, so I found your video helpful.

[@elceeuk3887]

I’m here for that smile 😀, everything I learned about wonderful Borage is a bonus 🥰

[@susanbrill8964]

Yum! I have used them as companion plants for strawberries but never knew they were edible! FILLING my straw bale garden with them this year because I’m studying companion planting and SO many plants benefit from them. Can’t wait. Thanks for all of this good info about starting them.

[@lilawilson3072]

Persians have been using them for many centuries to make one of the main staple medicinal teas, it’s an excellent calming nervine for anxiety, often taken before bed and great for sickness / colds too

[@michaellindsay1093]

Thanks for sharing iv planted some this year I'll have flowers in late summer

[@bryanjames5256]

Thanks man. Just learned about Borage not long ago, and we're gonna see how well they do in their own element here in central Pennsylvania. Got some growing in pots as well, and even the seedlings seem very hardy.

[@lesdaddy912]

Plenty of great info in this video! Thanks, Lee.

[@jasoncurtis2948]

They taste amazing also. Love the sweet flowers.

[@janmclellan8963]

Thankyou for your great video I have just planted my borage inthe garden and hopefully it will thrive well as it was dome grown and protected until I put it in the garden! I have put tulle and a garden guard on it to try deter the pests but unfortunately they seem to get through the barriers! wish me luck!!Jan from Vancouver Island BC Canada

An awesome vid - thanks so much

[@TMBgarden]

Is such a enjoy to listen to you with all that good and direct information in a super rich content with lots and lots of valuable information. Now I definitely will give a try to the blue borage flowers. Everything for the bees! It will look gorgeous between the white callistemon and cosmos flowers or the yellow of the rudbeckias and pinkish zinnias, it will be amazing!

[@GNGResurrected]

Cool tips bro, and I may do that next year. God bless.

[@Aryescent]

this year

next year you will wish you did it this year do it now

[@GNGResurrected]

@@Aryescent Do I still have time to do it this year.. :)

[@Aryescent]

@@GNGResurrected yes

[@Synaps1s]

You have to do this only once in your lifetime, they will spread like weeds.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Indeed they do. I definitely recommend growing them in containers. :)

[@Aryescent]

i’m growing some borage as well! they kind of look like cucumbers lol!

[@guerillawes]

I've just subscribed, great video thank you

[@T_B1]

Some of my borage grew to 40+ cm then after it flowered the leaves started yellowing and dying. Now i know it was either spider mites or aphids. Great vid

[@CEOAMARU]

I grew this from seed recently to attract pollinators for my bottle gourds.👌

[@d_dauber9920]

Awesome,

[@rebaknowles4209]

Great! Thank you!

[@theblueblazebeyond4766]

Groundhogs love Borage also.

[@JennySimon206]

You decorate cakes? I'm impressed.

[@rhg3212]

That reminds me, I have some borage seeds that I could germinate! Thanks for the reminder! I wonder if you could use your awesome platform to promote the benefits of using peat free compost please! I’ve been asking all the zero waste influencers too.

[@ProjectDiaries]

I do indeed. This ones an older video but most of my newer videos include peat free. If you check out my "One Garden Brighton" video I was very excited to see them using peat free. :)

[@ItzJesMe]

Hi! I love your channel, thank you for sharing your great knowledgeable videos...they truly help me as a new gardener. I do have a question for you...I've been gathering rain water to use for watering my little herb and veggie pot grown small greenhouse garden and I noticed the water is a yellowish-green color (much like the water in this video you were using to water the seedlings)...is this normal? Thank for any advice/info. You are AWESOME and hope your health is doing better.

[@zyzzlegacy9404]

in algeria is a wild plant

[@ajdexter4195]

I have loads around my pound and around the plot, they get HUGE

[@T_B1]

Another pest attracting plant are the nasturtiums. They were absolutely smothered in aphids didn't seem to affect them tho

[@kimzachris5340]

Its Swedish name ”Gurkört” means cucumber herb :)

[@GODgreatJoy]

Thank you for the info. I just read online they taste similar to cucumbers. I just planted 4 seeds today. I can't wait for them to grow 😊

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

We had a borage plant in our herb border last year but I'm not sure it survived. Round about the same time a weird plant started growing next to it and it's now grown huge, early investigation seem to suggest this is some kind of ragwort (though it's not flowering so I'm not certain it is). As a side note I hope KZbin stopped shadowbanning you, I somehow missed this video when it posted 2 weeks ago but is now showing up on my feed so fingers crossed.

[@lisarussell5950]

Can you plant seeds to germinate on windowsill in may?

[@mateogruszynski8362]

borage stans INCOMING jk lol i love borage too its one of my best producers 😅

[@Elliethejellybear]

I have a question, so i sprouted a couple of seads and they have a very small sprout omcoming out. Do i put them in pots in the sun or let them sprout more?

[@murzua5]

What type of fertilizer do you recommend for getting the phosphorus?

[@monicamayer977]

Wow

[@jdg-wy6]

Can i grow they in tropical climate

[@Aryescent]

how long did this take?

[@lula5544]

Bought my 1st pack of seeds today as I read they refill their nectar the fastest and I just love providing for our pollinator friends. Keep em crossed for me! One question, thoughts on need for stratification first - yay or nay? Thanks in advance 😊

[@KishorTwist]

No need! They germinate extremely easily.

[@luidee28]

How do you deadhead borage please? Where to cut? Thank you

[@ratgreen]

In the video you said they are perennial but they are not they just self seed right? Because everything I've read said they are annuals? But at 11:00 you said 'here is a plant from last year' so now im confused. I've grown them from seed for the first time ever this year, they have just started flowering, they are excellent. I didnt realise how big they can get. I too grew mine in those exact yogurt pots :). Mine are riddled with aphids which I've just been smushing with my fingers or brushing off with a paint brush, so I'm going to try the water / eco soap spray trick.

[@ProjectDiaries]

I'm not sure where "everywhere" is but the 2nd, 3rd and 5th search on Google states that some varieties are perennial. I've also grown them as perennials and if they self seeded it wouldn't just be one plant in the same place each year. 😉

[@farhanaazman6191]

Hi beautiful Where can i get them on England

[@NovemberRain313]

Hey brother! Would you happen to know why the one you're trimming grew upwards but the other ones are flat? I have seven I planted this year and I've never planted them before so I have no experience, but I've been puzzled at the very flat nature these plants seem to have. All of mine are laying flat on the ground and none of them have put up a stem or any flowers yet. I think I planted them around May 15th, so they're about 14 inches across from one leaf tip to the other, but they're not growing in height at all, they just keep rolling out new leaves from the center. So I was just curious why in your video you have one that seems to be growing tall and the other ones are flat like mine.

[@fartwinkle1]

My first time growing borage and my flowers are pink? Is this some natural variant or do you think they’re lacking something?

[@effff327]

Damn I think I repotted too early. I love them while they were seedlings. I’m wondering if I can grow them as micro greens they smell so good like cucumbers.

[@jab4634]

They are only produced in my garden to serve as a pollinator for the bees, not for my own consumption.😊 When I grow them, they grow tall and the stems are thick, but I have no idea how to support them.

[@yesterdayseyes]

Just be aware you'll have thousands of them come up every year after, and putting them in containers does not keep them contained. Kinda wish I had known that before I grew them. The bees do love them.

[@therespectedlex9794]

Any idea why my plants are too tall and spindly? I'm trying the seeds deeper in the soil.

[@monaraahmed7193]

[@zuzzzer]

Are you sure they are perennial? Not at all by the way. Actually, I like your videos, but this one…. Borage grows alone, even where you do not want. I just thrown few seeds in my garden, then for a few years I need to fight against its invasive nature

[@ProjectDiaries]

I think you just answered your own question. Grow then in containers as I suggested and dead head them before they go to seed.
