These organic dandelion seeds produce wild dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), a perennial with deeply toothed leaves, yellow flowers, and a long taproot. Young leaves are commonly used fresh or cooked, and roots may be roasted for a coffee-style beverage.
Wild dandelion seed details

Sowing and management
Prepare a well-drained bed, surface-sow or cover very lightly as directed on the packet, and keep the seed zone evenly moist during germination. Use packet-specific spacing and timing. Allow a second season if larger roots are the goal.
Dandelion can self-seed readily. Remove flower heads before seed dispersal if spread is not desired, and check local requirements before planting outside a contained bed.
Explore additional vegetable seeds and label the row with the sowing date so local emergence and harvest timing can guide future plantings.
