How to sow dandelions outdoors?
The common dandelion can be sown outdoors in spring or autumn, when temperatures are mild. To prepare the soil before sowing, it is advisable to weed it thoroughly and work it by turning it over with a hoe. Then, each seed should be about 30 cm apart to allow the plants to develop properly.
It is important to ensure that the dandelion seeds are in contact with the soil and to cover them lightly with potting soil. Be sure to keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy until the plants start to grow. It's also advisable to avoid shady areas and opt for a sunny spot.
The common dandelion is a hardy plant that requires little maintenance, but you do need to watch out for slugs and snails, which can damage young plants. By monitoring them regularly, you'll be able to act quickly if necessary. By following these tips, you can enjoy a fine crop of common dandelion in your garden without resorting to chemical fertilisers.
