875 Ft
Borage(Borago officinalis) is a cucumber-scented, hairy-looking annual plant from the Mediterranean. One of the best pollinator flowers in Europe, it attracts all insect groups. Research has shown that its nectar can be replenished in 5 minutes, providing an almost constant supply for hungry little pollinators, which is why it is so popular around borer branches. It is particularly rich in bumblebee species, as are native Hungarian borage species such as medical atrax, bluebell snake-grass, black needlegrass, common tadpole grass and medical lungwort. Its flowers are edible and can be a beautiful garnish for various salads.
