In your own lawn it becomes an aggressive unwanted choker of grasses. These are in Lincoln Park’s open spaces. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergDandelions, a European import, is considered a weed because of it’s agressive nature. That means it doesn’t play well with others; other species can’t compete with it in the U.S. However, Dandelions have been revered for diet and medicinal uses for decades. See this information for useage. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergThe seedheads of Dandelions evoke dreaded allergic reactions in many.
