Description: 1000 Chicory Seeds Cichorium intybus ********** Chicory is a tap-rooted perennial with blue flowers that is native to Eurasia and northern Africa. It is very adaptable and drought tolerant, making it useful for reclamation. Chicory roots can be used as a coffee substitute. This grows great in all zones of the U.S. Sowing: Direct sow in early spring, planting the seed 1/4" deep in loose soil; keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur in 10-14 days. Growing: This plant grows best in rich soil, but also adapts well to poor soil. As the seedlings develop, make sure to remove all weeds and keep the soil consistently moist. Mature plants tolerate drought well. We cannot sell this seed to customers in CO or SD. Harvesting: Cut young, tender leaves for fresh greens; do not freeze or dry them, since this deprives them of all flavor. They can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. The root can be harvested any time after four months of growth, but before the ground freezes. *** ()*** MORE INFO: Name: Chicory Scientific Name: Cichorium intybus Color: Blue Flowers Plant Seeds: Outdoors After Frost / Indoors Weeks Before Last Frost Plant Height: 24-60" Plant Spacing: 18 - 24" Cycle: Annual, Tender Perennial Bloom Season - Fall, Summer Light Requirements: Full Sun or Partial Shade Soil & Water Preferences: Average Other: Attracts bees, birds, & butterflies, Max shipping fee is $4.50.
