Starflower is a flowering annual herb. Borage has blue purplish star‑shaped flowers that attract bees all summer long. It grows up to 3.3 feet tall. The stem and the leaves have hairy texture. The flowers are most often blue in colour. The leaves are edible. The plant is also commercially cultivated for the seed oil extracted from its seeds. It is cultivated and used widely throughout Europe for its healing properties and for a nice addition to salads. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the irritated skin while helping it retain moisture and elasticity.
