Never heard tell of proliferating it for wildlife. But you guys south of the border have wildlife habitat programs that are unheard of or ever practiced in these parts. Chicory is just a roadside and abandoned field type of weed.

It's a pretty flower.

We plant a couple acres of chicory mixed with clover for the turkeys, they seem to love it. I also bought a can of it as a coffee substitute, a buddy from Missouri swears by it. Umm... I guess its an acquired taste. Pretty gross if you ask me. Does have a pretty blossom though.
