How to Plant
Chicory seed is very small — do not bury it; surface-sow no deeper than ¼ inch and press lightly so the seed makes contact with the soil. Plant in spring or late summer/early fall into a moist, well-drained seedbed. Keep the soil consistently moist through the 7–14 day germination window. Once established, mow to 3–4 inches periodically to encourage fresh leaf growth, and use rotational grazing — do not graze below 2–3 inches — to protect a long 3–5 year stand.
