Taraxacum pseudoroseum (Pink Dandelion)

Taraxacum pseudoroseum, commonly known as the Pink Dandelion, is a unique and rare perennial dandelion species distinguished by its pale pink flowers with a yellow center. The blooms resemble traditional dandelions but with a soft, pastel coloration. The plant has a rosette of deeply lobed, green leaves and produces its delicate flowers on slender, upright stems. This charming plant adds a whimsical touch to meadows, naturalized areas, or even cottage gardens.

Taraxacum pseudoroseum thrives in well-drained soils and is highly adaptable, growing in a variety of conditions, including poor or sandy soils. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Deadheading spent flowers can prevent self-seeding if you wish to control its spread, though its self-seeding nature makes it great for naturalized settings. This dandelion species attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies and pairs well with other wildflowers in meadow plantings or pollinator gardens.
