CHICORY Cichorium Intybus - 5,000 Bulk Seeds

Chicory Cichorium Intybus is a perennial, herbaceous wildflower native to Europe. Chicory seeds can be started directly outdoors in fall or very early spring, and the seeds have to be stratified if they are started indoors in winter. The first year Chicory will only make leaf growth and the plant will start to bloom the second year blooming from late spring until mid fall. Also called Italian Dandelion, Chicory produces showy, blue flowers that are formed at end of stems and stem leaf axils, and the Chicory flowers are the most obvious in the morning because they close later in the day.

Chicory is widely knows as an edible plant for medicines and cooking. The whole or shredded Chicory leaves are served with oil and vinegar as salads, and the blanched hearts serve as a vegetable. Cichorium Intybus seeds are very easy to grow, and once established, Chicory will grow without any care at all. Chicory is also cultivated for roots that are used as a coffee substitute. When blended with ground coffee, Chicory enhance the flavor and aroma of the brew.

Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequently, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
