Cichorium intybus
Chicory was used as an edible crop in the past, with the roots being used as a coffee substitute, but it is now used mainly as an ornamental plant.
The blue flowers can be seen, held in loose clusters at the top of 80cm tall branched stems from July to September. In its first year you will only see its dandelion-like leaves, but it will flower in its second year.
Chicory likes a well-drained soil in sun.
