Plant of the Month – Chicory

One of the most asked-about plants at the RHS Tatton Show was Chicory (Cichorium intybus).

This stunning plant features bright blue to purple daisy-like flowers and can grow between 1 and 1.5 metres tall.

If you were fortunate enough to see them in the morning, you might have noticed how they “glow” in the early light, making them even more striking.

Chicory is generally considered a short-lived perennial, so it’s a good idea to have several in your garden.

They also have a tendency to self-seed, so don’t be surprised if new plants start appearing where they feel at home!
