Borage does not spread like mint. It has a single main root that shoots down. The issue is it flowers a lot and its seed are highly viable. I bought a packet of seeds about 3 years ago. I planted 4 seeds in the first spot. Each one sprouted. In that same spot now there is... a lot over 20 maybe. Im going to pull some of the young shoots out and give them to the bunny or birds. If you decide later on you dont want them, you can treat them just like normal weeds and eventually they will dissappear. Its not hard to pull them out either. Unless you let them grow to 1.5 meters. Which we did when had pigs.
