Chicory (Cichorium intybus)

Ref: chicory

Chicory is a very popular, deep rooting species. It is commonly used as an addition to grazing leys due to its high protein content and its ability to fatten lambs. It is also very deep rooting, suiting dry soils and is frequently used in combination with other species as a green manure. Sow no later than early September to ensure safe establishment in time for the winter.
