Chicory is a perennial herbaceous plant with a blue or lavender flower. The flowers are an eye catching cornflower blue colour. Unsurprisingly bees constantly visit it in my garden when it flowers. Chicory is a delightful plant to introduce into gardens where it can be grown at the back of a sunny flower border where plants will attract insects such as bees.
