DamavandPro Chicory Seeds: A Unique and Eye-Catching Addition to Landscape

Bring a distinctive wildflower look to borders and open, sunny spaces with chicory seed (Cichorium intybus). Known for its tall, slender stems and vivid blue blooms, chicory makes an elegant addition towards the back of a sunny flower border, where it can add colour through the summer and into early autumn.

Chicory is also valued as a forage plant for pollinators, providing nectar for honeybees and other bees, as well as beetles and flies. It thrives in dry grassland conditions and is suited to sandy soils, as well as soils rich in chalk or limestone, in locations with plenty of sunshine.
