Notes
'Clio' Italian dandelion (Cichorium intybus 'Clio') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The upright plants grow quickly, and the leaves are tender and uniform. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
