A darling little wildflower from Central Asia, pink dandelion is a much less prolific relative of the common yellow dandelion.

Leaves, roots, and blooms of pink dandelion are edible; they are considered slightly less bitter than the common yellow dandelion. The 1- to 2-inch blooms are pink with a lemon-cream center, making them incredibly alluring to butterflies, honeybees, and other pollinators. The pink dandelion is a rich source of vitamin A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink dandelion grows best in well-drained soil, with full sun to partial shade.

Its delicately bitter leaves are lightly boiled into Ohitashi. The snow-white blooms are lightly battered and fried for tempura, and the long tap root is favored both for its culinary potential and its medicinal benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese White dandelion is adaptable to most areas but grows best in a location that receives morning sun and part to full shade in the afternoon.
