Cultivation and Propagation

Taraxacum pyrenaicum can be propagated by seed or division. Seeds should be sown in spring in a cold frame.

Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Division in spring or autumn. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
