Planting Instructions

1. Choose a site with full sun (at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily).

2. Remove existing vegetation, weeds, and debris from the planting area.

3. Prepare a firm, smooth seedbed by loosening the top 2–4 inches of soil.

4. Apply lime and fertilizer based on a soil test for optimal establishment.

5. Broadcast the seed evenly across the prepared soil using a hand or broadcast spreader.

6. Lightly rake or cultipack the seed into the soil, covering it no more than 1/8–1/4 inch deep. Chicory seed should not be planted deeply.

7. Plant when adequate soil moisture is available or before a forecasted rainfall.

8. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings are well established.

Growing Tips

• Performs best in well-drained soils with a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0.

• Avoid planting too deeply, as shallow planting improves germination.

• Mow periodically to encourage fresh, tender forage growth and reduce weed competition.

• Fertilize as recommended by a soil test to maximize forage production.

• Follow the seeding rate on the product packaging for your specific planting area.

Whether you're creating a new food plot or improving an existing one, Pennington Top Choice Chicory Plus Mix delivers dependable, high-quality forage that helps attract deer while supporting a healthier wildlife habitat year after year.
