Dandelion Seeds

Untitled DocumentStoreFeedbackFollow UsTrue Wild Dandelionplay a valuable role in supporting pollinators. The bright yellow flowers of dandelions are rich in nectar and pollen, making them an essential food source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects. As early bloomers in the spring, dandelions provide an important nectar and pollen source when fewer flowers are available.The accessibility of dandelion flowers, with their open structure, makes it easy for a variety of pollinators to access the nectar and pollen. Bees, including honeybees and native bees, are frequent visitors to dandelion blooms. Butterflies, such as the small tortoiseshell and painted lady, also benefit from the nourishment provided by dandelion flowers.In urban and suburban areas where monoculture lawns often prevail, dandelions can offer a critical food source for pollinators, contributing to the overall health and diversity of local ecosystems. Therefore, allowing dandelions to grow in certain areas or delaying their removal until after they have bloomed can be a positive practice for supporting pollinators. All parts of the dandelion plant can be harvested and used in cooking, tea or for tinctures. The young leaves can be used in salads. Once dried, the roots can be used for tea. The flowers can be fried for stir-fries.Seed Quantity NOTE: To conserve resources we combine all orders of duplicate seed quantities of the same variety into one pack.
