Common Chicory

The Azure Heirloom of Roadsides & Apothecaries

Multi-Purpose Heirloom

Wild Resilience & Culinery Heritage

**Chicory** is a hardy perennial heirloom known for its striking, sky-blue blossoms that open and close with the movement of the sun. While often seen naturalizing in wild meadows, it has been cultivated for centuries for its deep taproot and bitter, nutrient-dense leaves.

At **Heirlooms & Hybrids**, we offer a selection that honors both the "wild" aesthetic of the blue flower and the "performance" utility of the root, which can be roasted and ground into a world-famous coffee alternative.
