Sentient Hedge

The Chicorium Hortorum is a common, small plant and can be found in caves and other dark places. It blooms twice a year, for 3 weeks. It has huge, round leaves, which are usually mint green. It also grows small flowers, which can be light orange, dark grey, purple and dark brown. These plants grow in small numbers, but it's hard to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as an energizer when eaten. As a defense mechanism the Chicorium Hortorum taste very bitter. They rely on water currents to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow fairly large, delicious nuts.
