Common Dandelion Seeds (Taraxacum officinale) offer a resilient, multipurpose herb that thrives in a wide range of soil conditions. Known for their bright yellow flowers and iconic puffball seed heads, dandelions establish easily and can naturalize over time. Gardeners who want to manage their spread may prefer growing them in a dedicated bed or contained space. This hardy perennial provides nutritious edible greens, pollinator-friendly blooms, and a long history of traditional herbal uses.
Hardy, Adaptable, and Surprisingly Useful:
- Perennial herb with sunny yellow flowers and deeply toothed, nutrient-rich leaves
- Grows in poor, compacted, or disturbed soils and helps improve soil structure
- Highly adaptable plant that attracts bees and other pollinators
- Can be grown in contained plots to limit natural self-seeding
Why Customers Love Common Dandelion:
- Edible leaves, flowers, and roots offer culinary and traditional herbal value
- Young leaves add a mildly bitter, fresh flavor to salads and sautés
- Bright blossoms are edible and complement salads or herbal preparations
- Roots can be dried and used for traditional teas and coffee-style beverages
How to Grow:
Sow dandelion seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer. Choose full sun to partial shade and any well-drained soil. Once established, plants require little care and will return year after year. To manage spread, harvest flowers before they go to seed or plant in a dedicated area. Leaves are best harvested young for fresh eating, while mature plants can be left to develop deeper roots for later use.
Harvest & Use:
Pick tender leaves for salads or cooking. Harvest flowers for fresh use in salads or to dry for herbal preparations. Dig roots in fall for drying and brewing into tea. Rinse parts thoroughly and process according to intended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
