Good day

Dandelion plants prefer a spot in full sunlight, but can happily grow in just about any light conditions. That being said, they will grow more rapidly under at least eight to 10 hours of sunlight daily.

Most people know dandelions grow readily, though very few have tried to intentionally grow and care for them. Caring for the flowers is fairly easy. They will grow in a variety of favorable (and unfavorable) conditions, making them a sure-fire crop for novice and experienced gardeners alike

Dandelions can be added to your herb garden, or grown in a row in your vegetable garden. They can also be directly sown into containers for the ability to harvest closer to the kitchen.

Dandelions are generally problem-free, for better or for worse. They'll grow without any problems whatsoever and are resistant to many pests and diseases that may afflict other summer flowers or crops in your landscape.

Dandelions might seem like weeds, but the flowers and leaves are a good source of vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and potassium. One cup of dandelion greens provides 7,000-13,000 I.U. of vitamin A.
