Dandelion is a perennial plant. In the wild, biennial plants can blossom and bear seeds. In early summer, the number of flowering and fruiting seeds increases with the growth years. Some plants open more than 20, and excellent varieties can open more than 20. After flowering, the seeds will mature in 13 ~ 15 days.
The shell of the disk changes from green to yellow-green, and the seeds can be harvested from ivory to brown. Don't wait for the disc to crack before harvesting, otherwise the seeds will easily fly away and lose a lot. Generally, the number of seeds per flower head is above 100. The 1000-grain weight of Taraxacum macrophyllum seeds is about 2g, and that of Taraxacum microphyllum seeds is about 0.8 ~1.2g..
