borage
Blue culinary herb
Borage is an herb with fuzzy leaves and star-shaped blue flowers, used in cooking and herbal medicine.
The leaves taste faintly of cucumber and appear in salads, drinks, and Mediterranean dishes.
The plant self-seeds readily and attracts bees: The borage has taken over that corner of the garden.
