How to Pollinate Common chicory
(Cichorium intybus)
Common chicory, also known as Wild succory, Blue dandelion
Common chicory blooms early in the morning to invite its primary pollinators - bees, with a subtle blue flower serving as an irresistible visual. Using both cross and self-pollination methods, it ensures propagative success. Its distinct, protruding stamen releases pollen that attaches to bees, ensuring pollination as they flit between flowers, a process perfectly timed with the bees' most active hours.
