Taraxacum pseudoroseum: Pink Dandelion – Rare Pink-Flowered Dandelion

Taraxacum pseudoroseum – Pink Dandelion

Taraxacum pseudoroseum is a rare, fascinating dandelion species distinguished by its pale pink to lilac flowers – a delightful departure from the ubiquitous yellow. It forms the typical basal rosette of deeply toothed, lance-shaped leaves. The flowers are borne on hollow, leafless scapes. The seed heads are the familiar "clocks" of parachuted seeds.

Pink Dandelion grows in similar conditions to the common dandelion: full sun to part shade, moist, fertile soil. It is a perennial. While often considered a weed, its unique flower color makes it a curiosity for collectors and wildflower enthusiasts. A conversation piece for the lawn or meadow.
