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.
