Description:

Cichorium intybus, commonly known as chicory, is a plant that thrives in cool weather, developing its best color during these conditions. It is excellent for overwintering in USDA zone 4 and warmer, with the ability to regrow if cut correctly. The plant has a distinctive, mildly bitter flavor that sweetens with frost, and this flavor can be mellowed by grilling or a quick pan flash.
