Taraxacum

Taraxacum - Dandelion

We all know Taraxacum. The most famous species is the Taraxacum officinale, the Dandelion. But in addition to the yellow variety, there are also varieties with white or pink flowers, often with a beautiful yellow heart. All Taraxacum varieties develop a round bulb with seed fluff after flowering. If you want to prevent Taraxacum from spreading, remove the spent flowers from the plant in time. This also ensures that Taraxacum blooms over a longer period. Taraxacum leaf can be used well in the kitchen. The taste is best before the plant flowers. The flowers of Taraxacum can be used as an edible garnish in salads. Taraxacum is not picky about location. Provide adequate nutrition and avoid a location on dry soil or deep shade.
