Height: around 15cm
Description: Most people think of dandelions as those annoying weeds that invade our lawns every spring, summer and fall. However, many people eat dandelion greens and flowers. Garden retailers are now selling dandelion seeds to grow for a tasty addition to any salad.

How to grow:
Dandelion requires a long growing season and develops best at low temperatures. Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in May to early summer and thin seedlings to 8 to 12 inches apart in the row. The plants form a rosette of leaves and overwinter in the garden. They will grow in any well-drained garden soil. A polyethylene tunnel can be placed over the row to force growth for late winter or early spring cutting. Dandelions can be grown in the garden and should be treated similar to lettuce. If grown for a fall crop it should be planted in mid-summer. Dandelion is a perennial and can become a problem in gardens if allowed to grow unchecked.

Questions & Comments

who in the HECK would want one of the most disgusting weeds around - I'm glad to say after years of treatment I have none

NO Garden retailers in SC would EVER sell this ....!

Glad to hear others feel like I do. I just spent several minutes with my "puller" yanking up some this afternoon. And yesterday afternoon. And almost every afternoon for a couple of weeks. They come up nicely, roots and all; maybe I should list some on Listia. They aren't through with me yet. Pull four today, find six tomorrow.

I would never plant these seeds eiher but I do eat them.

This is worse than selling pet rocks. Sure the flowers are pretty, and frankly I've eaten stranger things, but when the flowers are gone the grass is covered with UGLY broadleaf weeds you can see from space. It's like lawn herpes, and when your neighbors get infected they will be out for blood.

I think horses like them! But to buy seeds, heck I can give 'em to you, send me a stamp I'll mailing out same day!! LOL

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 11:25:23 AM PDT by

I'm sorry...my first thought was the same as the first commentor. <laughing> But there are appearently things these can be used in/for. Good to know.

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 8:09:43 AM PDT by

they aregood for you and you can make wine out of them but they are every were why would someone pay for them

Apr 30th, 2013 at 3:05:04 AM PDT by

they are not just used as food But also to cure warts, detox the bowels and blood system and to reverse internal organ damage too
I eat them and also make dandelion jelly and occasionally drink dandelion tea too

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 10:09:56 PM PDT by

would be a great way to get back at someone though! lol throw those in someones yard after a rain and watch the magic happen ;)

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 8:33:05 PM PDT by

who the h*** would want these? if u come to my house u can have them for free take them all. when ever u want,

Apr 21st, 2013 at 8:20:33 AM PDT by

F&W!~ Love the commentary!

Apr 21st, 2013 at 5:14:57 PM PDT by

make a good salad--wish I did not toss mine. LOL Good to put on the creepy neighbors lawn who mows weeds. If u mow it--it must be rass. Lmao

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 10:21:52 PM PDT by

omg if the auction isn't for you shut your mouth and move on. anyone in touch with natural medicine and easy to grow food supplies knows the jellies teas chips and salads from there flowers are great. plus the definition of a "weed" is just a plant growing out of place. dandelion root is used for medicinal purposes. y'all are just incredibly rude. I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy it if tons of folks came and posted comments on your items calling them worthless and stupid.

Apr 30th, 2013 at 7:12:31 AM PDT by

these are my moms favorites!

Apr 17th, 2013 at 12:40:26 PM PDT by

They were brought to the USA as a food crop. If you keep the heads off of them then they can't spread. :)

Apr 18th, 2013 at 5:30:30 AM PDT by

Perfect for my baby tortie!

Apr 26th, 2013 at 4:17:32 PM PDT by

yuk! they spread to your neighbors and they will hate you for it!

Apr 26th, 2013 at 4:11:18 PM PDT by

OK, Gang, I hate to eat my words, but I just "met" the nicest lister who swears that the jelly made from these nasty creatures is unbelievably good. And to prove it, he has posted his recipe (and one for violet jelly) on Listia. So maybe we are the ones with our heads in the sand??? I am not planting any in my yard; my family would disinherit me. But I may go around the neighborhood gathering up enough to try the recipe..(Maybe I can charge the neighbors for clearing their lawns of these nasty things and make jelly at the same time???) Dare you to join me in bidding on the recipes; may the best bidder win.

Apr 25th, 2013 at 5:50:04 PM PDT by

Hehe, there are currently 10 bids on this.

grass--neighbor who spends hours mowing weeds---asparagus is the thing to grow--lasts 15 years

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 10:24:29 PM PDT by

gr-ass--hee hee--

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 10:23:03 PM PDT by

I see they grow in Hong Kong also, who would think they grew in the Far East? They travel quick and rampant.

My bunnies LOVE dandelions and I even thought about growing a patch of them but I likely have more than enough seed around here ; )

Apr 19th, 2013 at 1:47:26 PM PDT by

They are full of vitamins and minerals. They make a wonderful spring time salad or cooked greens. My parents always picked them and cooked them for a spring tonic. During hard times people would eat them when there was nothing else.

My yard is full of them and I like it that way. Brew some to make wine.

Apr 23rd, 2013 at 5:52:50 PM PDT by

I love dandelions.

Apr 20th, 2013 at 8:26:49 AM PDT by

No they wouldn't hm2013! I live here in SC and fight those darn things every morning! I would be able to rid my yard but the neighbors don't care and let theirs go to seed and they fly like an eagle to my yard!!!!!!!!!!! Can't stand them and don't understand how anyone would bid on this! Beyond ME!!!
