I have not grown this plant, but have observed it in its natural habitat. False dandelion is also known as Texas dandelion. It is native to Texas (as well as other states) and grows commonly over the eastern half of the state. It is a winter annual or biennial. Besides growing in fields and along roadsides, it often ibecomes a nuisance in yards. It blooms from March through May and its lemon-yellow blooms open in the mornings.
