Description

Seed-grown Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) fits naturally into kitchen gardens. This perennial garden crop needs full sun, moderately fertile, well-drained soil, and steady early care while seedlings establish.

Sow at the crop's appropriate depth in a prepared bed or container, using the recommended germination range to guide seed starting. Water when the soil surface begins to dry, then harvest when the crop reaches the appropriate stage for eating.
