Survival Garden Seeds offers a selection of chicory seeds for sale, perfect for adding a variety of nutritious, flavorful plants to your garden. Our heirloom seeds are selected for their strong germination and reliable growth into robust, healthy plants.
Chicory comes to our gardens with a long background of cultivation, mainly in Europe. It is regarded as extremely versatile. Chicory is beneficial to overall health as well. Its leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals, and its roots contain inulin (a prebiotic fiber). These plants grow well in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 10. They’re resilient and capable of flourishing in poorer soil conditions.
Sow chicory seeds for planting directly into the garden space in spring or fall. Plant them according to the needs of your chosen variety, following the directions on the packet. Chicory seeds typically germinate within one to two weeks. To secure a continuous harvest of leafy vegetables, plant seeds in succession. This can be done every few weeks during the growing season.
Water the chicory plants regularly for tender leaves and healthy taproot development. Chicory likes fertile soil, so it benefits from the addition of organic matter in the form of compost, for example. As the plants mature, thin them out. They need about 6 inches apart, allowing room for growth. Chicory can be harvested by cutting the outer leaves or by pulling the entire plant for both the leaves and the root.
Survival Garden Seeds offers different options for growing this valuable vegetable. Fresh leaves for salads, cooked as a green, or roasted as a comforting hot beverage—chicory is an interesting plant for any garden.
