Borage (Borago officinalis) is another all-round performing companion plant that adds a splash of beauty.
BORAGE
It shows continuous sprays of tiny lavender coloured flowers all throughout the growing season. The young leaves and pretty flowers are edible in salads. The spicy flowers are great added to stir fries for that secret zing. Please be careful, pregnant women should not eat Borage.
Borage is quite hardy and will thrive in most conditions. Borage improves the health of cannabis plants as it enhances the soil with vitamins and minerals. If you want to use it with other plants, strawberries especially love borage and will be doubly flavoursome and juicy. The tiny flowers attract bees and predatory wasps which repel or hunt unwanted creatures like cabbage worm and whitefly larvae.
The mineral content of borage is such that it is an ideal green manure or dry mulch. When leaves become old and faded, strip them and sprinkle around the base of your other plants. Rich in Potassium, Calcium and vitamin C, borage improves compost quality with its extra vitamins and minerals. Your cannabis plants will appreciate the natural slow release Potassium and Calcium that both encourage healthy cell growth.

Title : Great cover!!! Comment : I recommend using this plant as a cover when growing outside. The plant it self is poisonous, so don´t consume it. Very bushy type. If you plant this out to your garden, it will remain there forever. I recommend pots, and take care that the borage officialis will not cover your entire backyard, by taking out the seeds after flovering. Good plant. Be careful.
