Michele, the wild chicory I unceremoniously pulled out of the ground and planted in the flower bed has recovered nicely. All the foliage died back and I thought I'd lost it, but it put out good new growth from the roots and is now preparing to flower again! I can really see why this is such a successful weed. A second one is doing well also.

If they get too ambitious and try to take over the garden, I'll just throw the leaves in a salad and brew up a cup of chicory from the roots! ;o)

But next year they should look great, mixed in with the Queen Anne's Lace and some pink musk mallow. Can hardly wait.
