Hi Ann,
I frost sdeeded Puna chicory maybe 8 years ago in pasture of mostly
bluegrass and white clover. Got thin establishment of plants that grew well
but have not persisted under heavy grazing pressure with daily moves that
has greatly increased yield of cool season perrenial grasses and clovers. I
now regard the 'native' dandelions as filling the chicory niche with less
bother.
