A bristly annual plant, Borage grows on arable, disturbed places and is also found in gardens where it is cultivated for its leaves which have a cucumber like flavour. It stands to 60 cm high, and bears very pretty star-shaped blue flowers (20–25 mm across) in drooping, loose, leafy clusters from May to September. The five petals are narrow and backward pointed, the dark sepals appearing between them, and at the centre of the flower is a column of purple-black anthers grouped together and projecting. The leaves are pointed with wavy margins, the lower ones stalked and the upper clasping the stem. This is a garden escape which becomes naturalized on occasion. It belongs to the Boraginaceae family.
