Description: The Pink Dandelion is an ornamental form of dandelion with soft pink flower heads, related to the wild dandelions that have long dotted meadows and paths. Belonging to the genus Taraxacum, widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, it brings a touch of gentle colour to the ecological garden, while retaining the hardiness and remarkable adaptability of dandelions.
Not invasive!!
In the garden, its low-growing rosette shape allows slender flower stalks to emerge from the heart of the foliage, bearing simple, luminous pastel-pink flowers. Its presence blends naturally into a vibrant garden: borders, wildflower meadows, and harmonious vegetable patches. Easy to grow, it self-seeds moderately and remains a discreet yet faithful companion plant, contributing to the diversity of the soil and the daily pleasure of observing the changing seasons.
