Chicory

Cichorium intybus

The most beautiful clear blue flowers

Tall, almost architectural, spires of fine stems, bearing the most perfect sky-blue open flowers. The petals open and close throughout the day and night. They will greet you first thing in the morning with their most perfect show of toothed blooms.

Not just for cutting; you can put the leaves in a salad or scatter the flowers over a summer platter.
