The chicory blooms perennially throughout the summer
When does the chicory bloom?
We owe their tasty chicory, crispy radicchio and delicious Muckefuck, the classic coffee substitute. The common chicory continues to inspire with bright-blue ray flowers in the natural garden. Read here when Cichorium intybus puts on her flower dress.
Glamorous blooms will last a summer
The common pathway is one of the biennial plants. As a result, she trains a down-to-earth leaf rosette in the first year. In the following year, an up to 150 cm high inflorescence with light green, lanceolate leaves rises from it. From June to October, the light blue ray flowers advertise busy bees, bumblebees and butterflies to multiply by self-sowing.
Single flowers live for a day
Characteristic of the Wegwarte is that it produces over the long flowering time again and again new flowers, well into the autumn. A single flower only opens in the morning, to breathe already during the afternoon hours of their floral life.
