Taraxacum campylodes
Taraxacum campylodes
Taraxacum campylodes, a Scandinavian and Himalayan dandelion relative, is an extremely easy-care perennial that thrives in lawns, gardens, and disturbed soils with very little attention. Its leaves and roots have a long history of medicinal and culinary use, and its flowers provide an early-season nectar source for pollinators. Simply ensure it receives adequate light and occasional watering during dry periods — it largely cares for itself.
