I have always thought that Chicory (the blue flowered kind growing along roadsides) could be a wonderful plant for the perennial border. I let it grow in with common dayliles (H. fulva) and the colors are spectacular together. But the blue flowers fade so early in the day....if someone could select for a cultivar that kept its flowers all day, that would be great. I also see pink and white chicory here and there in my area, so a range of colors could be possible. This may be my retirement plan.....
