Green alkanet (‘wild borage’) – do you love it or loathe it?
I love it, leaving patches to grow wild in my own garden, but also encouraging clients to retain it, too, especially in shady areas – bees & butterflies love it, it can flower for months (making it a reliable food source for pollinators) & its leaves are even a food source for scarlet tiger moth larvae.
Control green alkanet by deadheading before it sets seed, or if it’s growing somewhere you don’t like, remove unwanted seedlings or weaken bigger plants over time by regularly digging out by the tap root.
