Cichorium intybus includes wild chicory and cultivated forms such as radicchio and Belgian endive. Cichorium intybus has hairy foliage.

Flowers and foliage

The wild form has a deep taproot, a leaf rosette and blue flower heads on branching stems. Its cultivated forms differ markedly in leaf shape and head formation; the species name does not describe a single salad type.

Leaf chicories and named garden forms

Pain de Sucre, Catalogna frastagliata and Rossa di Verona are named references for reseller assortments. They belong in this broad chicory list, whereas curly endive and escarole are treated separately under Cichorium endivia.
