FORBS

Forbs are a “catch all” category of plantings that include a flowering plant with a non-woody stem that is not a grass. Since it is non-woody, it is not a shrub or tree either. Thus most wild and garden flowers, herbs and vegetables are forbs. Forbs do not form a coherent plant group but it does include the popular food plot planting, chicory.

Chicory is a perennial planting that deer love and it is very resilient, doing well in a variety of soils and under dry conditions. It can be planted in spring or fall and in places that are difficult to reach. Chicory is craved by deer and lasts 3 to 5 years
