Specifications These premium dandelion seeds are strictly cleaned and screened to filter out shrunken, cracked and immature grains for stable germination. This low-growing perennial herb forms rosettes of deeply lobed green leaves close to the ground. Slender hollow flower stalks rise from the foliage, bearing single bright golden-yellow flower heads in spring. After blooming, fluffy spherical seed heads form, which disperse seeds by wind. The whole plant has a long taproot and strong adaptability to various soil types.
Product Advantages Dandelion has dual value as edible greens and medicinal herb, making it a versatile hardy perennial herb. It requires minimal care and can self-seed gently under suitable conditions. Pair it with other edible herb seeds to build your herbal garden.
Planting Method Step 1: Timing. Sow in spring or autumn. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 15–22°C. Step 2: Site preparation. Choose a sunny spot with loose well-drained soil. Remove weeds; it can tolerate poor soil. Step 3: Sowing. Scatter seeds on soil surface, lightly cover with a thin 0.3–0.5cm layer of soil. Step 4: Water after sowing. Mist gently to keep soil slightly moist, avoid heavy soaking. Step 5: Seedling emergence. Seedlings sprout in 10–18 days. Keep seedlings under bright sunlight. Step 6: Thinning. When seedlings grow 2–3 true leaves, thin them out. Space plants 15–20cm apart. Step 7: Maintenance. Water only during prolonged dry periods. Little fertilizer is needed. Step 8: Harvest & care. Young tender leaves can be picked for eating. Deadheading controls excessive self-seeding.
Suitable Climate Dandelion adapts to most temperate climates. Optimal growing temperature is 10–25°C. It tolerates cold winters and summer heat. Drainage is important to prevent root rot.
