Blooming from late spring through fall, its vibrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens. Chicory leaves can be harvested for salads or cooked greens, while its roots have traditional culinary and medicinal uses. Hardy and low-maintenance, chicory adds beauty and utility to gardens, meadows, and edible landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeed Sowing Instructions\u003cbr\u003eSow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer, once soil temperatures reach 50–60°F (10–16°C). Plant seeds 1\/4–1\/2 inch deep, spaced 6–12 inches apart in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Germination usually occurs within 10–14 days. Thin seedlings to allow adequate space for airflow and strong growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant Care Instructions\u003cbr\u003eChicory thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry periods, but established plants are drought-tolerant. Remove spent flowers to encourage leaf growth, or allow flowers to mature for seed production. Chicory is low-maintenance, resilient, and suitable for both ornamental and edible garden applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping Policy\u003cbr\u003eOrders ship via USPS Ground Advantage by default.
