A Rare Beauty with Purpose – Pretty in Pink, Powerful in the Garden
Move over yellow—we’re thinking pink. Pink Dandelion (Taraxacum pseudoroseum) is a rare, ornamental twist on the classic dandelion, featuring soft rose-pink blooms that float above low rosettes of toothed green leaves. This pollinator-friendly perennial offers beauty, resilience, and surprising usefulness, all in one hardy plant.
Native to Central Asia, pink dandelions are non-invasive, unlike their common cousins, and are easy to manage in cultivated spaces. The leaves and roots are edible and nutritious—just like traditional dandelions—making this a standout addition to edible landscapes, cottage gardens, and pollinator patches.
