From our Experience:

Borage in your tomato garden will keep horn worms at bay.  It makes a lovely garnish for an evening cocktail or a special tea.   When blending tisanes, Borage typically acts as a body herb adding a bit of sweetness and body to an herbal tea.  Borage combines well with Tulsi, Milky Oats, Rose.
