Angelica

Biennial- grows to about 4 feet tall-does not like humid climates so I have planted it where it gets shade for part of the day. It needs a lot of space in a back border. Two should be planted together. It contains lots of green leaves the first year and the second she flowers. She usually dies after she sets her seeds.

Basil

Annual-Grows about 18 inches-There are many varieties, and they all can be grown by seed. Sow seed right into pot. Better not to use flats, or plugs for they have a very long tap root. They don't like wet feet. Plant outside after frost. She loves hot weather. Also Basil is good for container planting. Just DO NOT OVER WATER. Do not let flower if you use for cooking.

Borage

The Welsh name for Borage translates as "herb of gladness". The Celtic word borrach means "courage".
Annual-24". Seeds germinate quickly. Blue star shaped blooms form. Since this seeds so easily watch for flower heads turning into seeds and pick them of. Deadheading the flowers also will prolong flowering. She doesn't like to be transplanted. Makes a good companion plant. Bees love it. Also does not do well in pot inside.
