General Information: Chicory is found throughout our area, along roadsides, in fields, and waste places. They are in bloom during the summer and fall months, and range in height from 1' to 4'. They may be biennials or perennials. Chicory is a member of the Composite family.
The leaves are toothed, lobed, or entire and the branches are stalkless. The daisy-like flowers of a chicory are blue, occasionally white, with squared, toothed tips.
