When to Seed Chicory

This perennial herb should be direct seeded into the garden in early spring or transplanted once all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Chicory

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It is perennial and will spread, so keep that in mind when choosing a planting location. 

Growing Chicory

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and one inch apart. Once mature, thin to ten to 12 inches apart. When established, this herb is low maintenance and drought tolerant. 

Harvesting Chicory

Leaves can be harvested ahead of flowering with sharp shears or the roots can be harvested in the fall once all foliage has died back.
