That's right! I had an Aunt Emma that made Dandelion Wine. She was always nice and happy. I am looking for the dandelion with the edible leaves and wanting to grow them in zone 9a, Florida. I tried them but didn't suppliment water. I should try again but they take 2 years to sprout. I'd appreciate any help. At least to know which one to try. Does anyone know if the Pyrrhopappus carolinianus is edible?

Leaves make a good sub, for spinach, flower heads can be made into wine, Roots can be roasted & ground for a coffee like drink. By far the most useful "weed" around.
