This hardy perennial is most famous for its long taproot, which can be roasted and ground into a classic, caffeine-free coffee substitute with a rich flavor. The young, tender leaves add a pleasant, bitter bite to salads, similar to radicchio. In its second year, the plant sends up tall stalks with beautiful, sky-blue, daisy-like flowers that are a favorite of pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e⭐ What you'll love\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe roasted root is a traditional, caffeine-free coffee substitute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe young leaves provide a zesty, bitter green for salads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduces an abundance of beautiful, sky-blue flowers beloved by bees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA tough, drought-tolerant perennial that is very easy to grow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌿 Seed details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chicory (Cichorium intybus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 200 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heirloom, Open Pollinated, Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifecycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120+ days for root harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌱 Growing instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow seeds outdoors in spring after the last frost, or in late summer\/fall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space or thin plants to 12-18 inches apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Partial Shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers loose, well-draining soil to accommodate the deep taproot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvest young leaves for salads.
