Herb Chicory is a hardy, non-GMO heirloom herb prized by experienced gardeners for its remarkable adaptability and multifaceted applications. This biennial thrives in full sun with minimal soil requirements, flourishing even in challenging growing conditions where other plants struggle. Expect striking cobalt-blue flowers blooming in late summer, creating visual interest while the plant establishes its deep taproot system. With approximately 80% germination rates, these 200 seeds deliver reliable performance. Plants reach harvest maturity in roughly 78 days, offering a relatively quick turnaround for culinary and medicinal purposes. The dried roots produce a rich, earthy beverage comparable to coffee, while fresh leaves contribute distinctive bitter notes to salads and herbal infusions. Chicory's natural self-seeding capability makes it excellent for establishing perennial garden sections with minimal intervention. This variety accommodates diverse growing methods—direct garden sowing, container cultivation, or microgreen production—making it exceptionally versatile for both traditional and contemporary growing practices. The plant's deep root system improves soil structure while requiring minimal fertilization or pest management, aligning with sustainable gardening principles. Ideal for collectors of heirloom varieties and herbalists seeking authentic, historically significant cultivars.
