Growing to around 1.5 m tall when left ungrazed, it produces attractive lilac-blue flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators. Its extensive root system enables it to remain productive during dry periods while improving soil structure and accessing nutrients from deep within the soil profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly palatable and rich in minerals, forage chicory is well suited to grazing systems for cattle, sheep and other livestock. It is commonly managed in a similar manner to alfalfa but has the advantage of not causing bloat. Best persistence is achieved under rotational grazing rather than continuous heavy grazing. This cold-tolerant variety also performs well on moderately acidic soils, making it a versatile addition to mixed pasture systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 600–700 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: April to July\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: March to May and August to September\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: March to May and August to October\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: September to November and February to April\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seed 5–10 mm deep into a firm, well-prepared seedbed or direct drill into existing pasture.

Sow at approximately 5 kg per hectare as a pure stand or at appropriate lower rates when included in pasture mixes. Maintain good soil fertility and use rotational grazing to maximise persistence and productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot available for WA.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"400g","offer_id":46375911194842,"sku":"prefix_681c1f7378fb34.15175017","price":35.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"800g","offer_id":46375911260378,"sku":"prefix_681c1f7378fbb6.28654877","price":63.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4kg","offer_id":46375911227610,"sku":"prefix_681c1f7378fb88.99406474","price":290.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_14b8ff55-9220-476c-b6aa-7ee8867d5d7b.jpg?v=1754016903","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/chicory-punter-1944","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
