No matter if your thumb is "green" or "brown", this is one flower that anyone living in the temperate zone can. grow...Taraxacum officinale, the botanical name of the common dandelion. We certainly have no problem growing a lawnful of them!
But no problem, as dandelions provide one of the first meals for the honeybee. The entire plant is edible from the leaves, to the root. The flowers even make a delicious wine!
The familiar sunny yellow flower is as sure a sign of spring as we will ever see!
Thanks for visiting!
