{"product_id":"blue-white-flowered-mix-borage","title":"Seed Collection: Blue \u0026 White Flowered Mix Borage","description":"Borage, also known as starflower, is an edible ornamental and medical plant, the praises of which have been sung by some of the most famous herbalists in history. John Gerard’s Herball includes –the saying Ego borago, gaudia semper ago, meaning ‘I, borage, bring always courage’. And, according to Pliny the Elder, when borage leaves and petals are put into wine, it ‘makes men and women glad and merry, and drives away all sadness, dullness and melancholy’. With such commendations, it’s no surprise that the Blue and White Flowered Mix variety has became a favourite in modern mixology, being used to garnish cocktails such as the gin-based Pimm’s Cup.  \n\n\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNAME\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue and White Flowered Mix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUANTITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e50 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANT SIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight \u003c\/strong\u003e60 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTAINER SIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPANION PLANT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTomatoes, peppers, eggplants, strawberries, cucumbers, salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSOWING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor \u003c\/strong\u003eFeb-Mar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor \u003c\/strong\u003eApr-June\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIMING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination \u003c\/strong\u003e7-15 days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting \u003c\/strong\u003e50-70 days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPACING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen sowing \u003c\/strong\u003e3-5 cm; Depth 3 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen thinning \u003c\/strong\u003e10-15 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGROWING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSunligth \u003c\/strong\u003eFull sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u003c\/strong\u003eWell-drained, light and moist soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering \u003c\/strong\u003eRegular, moderate watering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding \u003c\/strong\u003eNo fertilizer or compost addition is necessary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert tip \u003c\/strong\u003eDo not fertilise because this will promote leaf growth and suppress flowering.
