250 Wild Chicory Seeds
Description
Wild chicory, also known as capuchin beard, was very popular in the 19th century. This plant with disheveled leaves offers a unique and original flavor, perfect for enhancing your salads. Easy to grow, it can be grown both in the garden and in the cellar, and deserves to be (re)discovered!
Characteristics of Wild Chicory:
- Origin: Common plant on roadsides and in wastelands.
- Appearance: Shape of modest rosettes of very bitter leaves.
- Flowering: From May to September (even October), its tall stems bear a multitude of superb blue flowers.
- Cultivation: The plants are pulled up at the onset of winter to be cultivated in a warm place, protected from light. Thus blanched, the leaves lose some of their bitter flavor.

- Planting season: Spring.
- Harvest: The leaves can be harvested as soon as they are sufficiently developed.
