Chicory Flowers
Cichorium intybus, commonly known as Chicory, is a blue-flowered perennial plant of the family Asteraceae. Native to Europe and introduced into the US late in the 19th century. Its leaves are eaten as a vegetable or in a salad. The plant is grown as fodder or a herbage crop for cattle.
Chicory has a long, fleshy taproot and a rigid, branching, hairy stem that grows to a height of about 3 to 5 feet. The flowers occur in clusters of 1-5 along the branches or at the tip of short branches, and each flower only blooms for a day.
