Sowing

When sowing seeds, place 3 per foot and a quarter to a halk inch into soil and lightly cover. Space the plants 24" apart to encourage growth and make sure that they do not grow on top of one another.Sow seeds in early spring, just as the soil has begun to warm up. Borage performs best in soil that is 50 degrees F and above, particularly in its earliest stages of growth. Germination should occur after 7-14 days.


Growing

Keep the soil fairly moist and weeds under control. Since too much soil contact can cause the drooping leaves to rot, a layer of mulch may be helpful. If the plant grows tall and begins to fall over, staking or a trellis may be necessary. Remove wilted blossoms to encourage new flowers.
