Description

Chicory herb plants are easy to grow in the garden as a cool season crop. Seeds and transplants are the primary means of growing chicory.

It is a perennial, with a tap root like the Dandelion.

The stems are 2 to 3 feet high, the lateral branches numerous and spreading, given off at a very considerable angle from the central stem, so that the general effect of the plant, though spreading, is not rich and full, as the branches stretch out some distance in each direction and are but sparsely clothed with leaves of any considerable size. The general aspect of the plant is somewhat stiff and angular.

    Ordered for five plants

    Along with these I had ordered for five plants of which three of them have already dried up. These pots are too small to plant anything. But the picture shows a bigger stuff. Any way thanks.
