  • Oh are you in a very cold climate? I think they are one of the most hardy species, along with P. incarnata. I’d also like to try growing that species but they don’t seem to be commonly available here. I’ve also heard of people growing P. edulis but it’s marginal for them since they’re more tropical.

    I live in an urban area so I’m always trying to figure out how to maximize my use of space and vines are one such way. I tried growing a hardy kiwi this year but it’s struggling—I think it came with phytophthora from the nursery.

    Interesting but it’s important to remember that Europeans and their plants have been in the Americas for over 500 years now, which is plenty of time for oral traditions to develop. I’m not saying it’s untrue but I’d be curious to see what the genetic evidence says, since that would be a verifiable way to confirm. But in my experience dandelions grow almost exclusively in human developments, so it would be pretty surprising if they were native here.
