Chicory, or "the blue daisy" is famous for growing on the roadside with beautiful electric blue blossoms. A perennial herb is most commonly grown as a ground cover, for pollinator attraction, and cut flowers. Will bloom in almost any sunny spot with drought and heat tolerant qualities. During the Great Depression, chicory was used as a coffee substitute by many. Use caution when consuming as the roots are safe to eat in low amounts.
