Horned dandelion is a cold-hardy alpine and boreal dandelion that thrives in cool, moist environments with partial to full sun. It requires minimal care and will naturalize readily in garden meadows or rock gardens in northern climates. Allow adequate spacing for its rosette to spread and provide consistent moisture during the growing season.
