Wild dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is the cheerful yellow wildflower of lawns and meadows, with bright blooms that mature into the classic silvery seed clocks. Grown on purpose, it makes a sunny, easy patch of flowers. Note: dandelions self-seed freely, so consider growing them in pots or a contained bed.

Why choose our seeds?

• Bright yellow blooms from late spring into fall, followed by fluffy seed heads

• Among the easiest flowers to start from seed

How to grow True Wild Dandelion seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow from early spring after the last frost, or in late summer.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap to hold moisture
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface-sow: press seeds gently onto moist mix and barely cover — seeds need light to germinate.
• Mist the surface to settle seeds without washing them away.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light, but not harsh direct sun, until germination.
• Temperature: 50-68°F (10-20°C).
• Humidity: Cover with perforated plastic wrap to keep the mix from drying out; vent every couple of days.

Germination

• 7-21 days.
• Grow seedlings on in cooler, bright conditions; thin or pot up when large enough to handle.

Transplanting

• After the last frost, when daytime temperatures are consistently above 59°F (15°C).
• Harden off before planting out.
• 6-12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade.
• Water: Keep evenly moist until established; dandelions dislike drying out completely.
• Fertilizer: Generally not needed in garden soil; container plants appreciate a light feeding.
• Remove developing seed heads if you want to limit self-seeding around the garden.

Bloom Time:

Late spring through early fall; first flowers appear roughly 80-90 days after sowing.
