About This Plant
Blue Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a hardy perennial known for sky-blue, daisy-like flowers and a deep taproot. It grows 2–4 feet tall with upright branching stems and bright blue blooms that open in the morning. It tolerates poor, dry soils and is commonly used in wildflower plantings, pollinator gardens, pastures, and erosion control. Roots and leaves have traditional culinary and herbal uses, and chicory roots are historically roasted as a coffee substitute.
