Receiver takes possession of shabby chic plant (9)
I believe the answer is:
radicchio
'plant' is the definition.
(radicchio is a plant)
'receiver takes possession of shabby chic' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'chic' is 'icch' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for radicchio that I've seen before include "Dark-red-leaf salad plant" , "leaves bitter taste" , "Salad ingredient" , "Italian chicory" , "Variety of chicory - I hid a croc (anag)" .)
