Chicory is a edible plant. Common chicory, Cichorium intybus,[4] is a somewhat woody, perennial herbaceous plant of the dandelion family Asteraceae, usually with bright blue flowers, rarely white or pink. Many varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chicons (blanched buds), or roots (var. sativum), which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive. It is also grown as a forage crop for livestock.[5] It lives as a wild plant on roadsides in its native Europe, and is now common in North America, China, and Australia, where it has become widely naturalized.[6][7][8] "Chicory" is also the common name in the United States for curly endive (Cichorium endivia); these two closely related species are often confused.[
This is my very last auction of these seeds!
Update these are still available and I have a brand new plant in this year with fresh seeds so I will take new pictures and add them here.
Update again this is a fresh batch from 2020. I have smaller quantities left over from previous years and they are all still viable with a good germination rate.
