Description

Taraxacum officinale 'Coeur Plein' is a variety that offers beautiful compact and full rosettes. More commonly known as weeds, dandelions are cultivated to have productive and pollution-free plants. Dandelions have many dietary qualities. Sow the seeds from March to June for a harvest from November to April.

 

Taraxacum officinale, also known as lion's tooth, is a perennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. The bright yellow of its flowers, the characteristic lion's tooth-like shape of its leaves, and its feathery seeds make it one of the most well-known "weeds".

The common dandelion is naturally found in meadows and along roadsides, as well as in the middle of paved areas in cities. It often appears in well-maintained lawns, where it is relentlessly hunted down!

However, this weed has many qualities that should not be ignored! It is rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, naturally diuretic, and detoxifying. Its young leaves are excellent in salads. They are also very tasty when cooked quickly like spinach, with a little garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice. Its flowers are also edible, and can be used to make jelly, syrup, and a delicious amber-coloured aperitif wine.

In the garden, it adapts to ordinary soil, even if heavy and compact. It prefers full sun or partial shade.

Harvesting: harvest the young leaves from November to April. The flowers are usually picked in April.

Storage: the leaves can be stored for a few days in a refrigerator or a few months in a freezer, after being blanched for a few minutes in boiling water.

Gardener's tip: to obtain very tender dandelion leaves, it is possible to blanch them by covering them with a small mound of soil, about 15cm (6in) high, or by covering them with a large clay pot.

 

The untreated or "NT" seeds come from plants grown conventionally (often with the use of phytosanitary products), however, they undergo no treatment after harvest. These seeds are allowed in organic market gardening when organic seeds are out of stock.

Planting and care

Sowing

Dandelions germinate at a temperature of around 10°C (50°F). It takes about 15 days.

Sow directly in the soil, by placing a seed every 4 to 5cm (2in) in rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Thin them out when the plants have developed 4 to 5 leaves, keeping only one plant every 15cm (6in) or so.

Cultivation

It is very tolerant of different types of soil. Regularly weed the plot and water during dry weather. It is wise to harvest the flower stems to stimulate leaf production.
