FREE: Heirloom chicory seeds

The listing, Heirloom chicory seeds has ended.

Hand grown originally and organically in 2017, then again in 2023. You can see the flowers right now still. The seeds are tiny but the plants can get big with tons of flowers.and you get 10 seeds on average. You can grow this now before winter and let it flower out next spring and summer.

This is very limited as I only have one bird seeded plant to save this plant.

This auction is for the last of this plant of these seeds that I personally handpicked

This is a true hierloom chicory that I grew to seed myself. I carefully air dried the seeds and saved the flower pods to pinch the seeds out one at a time.

Chicory is kind of like romaine lettuce in a way but it flowers beautiful blue daisy like flowers in heat and the root can be used to make a ground coffee substitute. You can also force certain types of chicory to grown in pots in winter so you can eat the bright yellow chicons.

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.[
