About This

• Drought-Resistant Perennial -- With exceptional drought tolerance, Root Chicory is ideal for water-scarce regions. The mature plants typically reach a height and width around 2 to 3 feet. Its compact and bushy growth habit makes it a suitable choice for smaller garden spaces, containers, or raised beds.
• Abundant Harvests - Enjoy high yields of nutritious green chicory leaves and roots throughout the growing season. Fresh Root Chicory greens have a slightly bitter and nutty flavor, which adds depth and complexity to salads and cooked dishes. The roasted and ground roots of Root Chickory can be used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute or blended with tea or coffee to create a unique flavor profile.
• Sustainable Living - Vegetable gardening is an essential foundation of a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Home grown fruits and vegetables are generally more flavorful and nutritious than store-bought. The beautiful blue flowers of the Root Chicory plant also serve as a valuable source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.
• Easy to Grow - Seeds are packed in a beautiful paper packet with instructions for successful growing and germination in your own home garden. Each package also has instructions for saving seeds after harvest. Getting started is simple for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
• Quality Seeds - Plant now or store for future growing seasons. These seeds will remain viable for years if stored in a cool dry location. Our safe, non-hybrid non-GMO heirloom seeds are always open-pollinated, naturally grown, untreated, and selected to ensure the best germination rates.
