Borage seed oil is also known as starflower oil. The bright blue, star-shaped flowers (which bloom most of the summer) make borage one of the prettiest herb plants. The plant will grow to a height of about 50cm, and spread about 30cm. This hardy annual has a messy, straggling habit. It is a native of northern Europe, and grows well in New Zealand, where it begins flowering in early spring and may sprawl to a metre wide.
