- Warmer soil and increasing sunlight trigger seeds to sprout.
- New seedlings grow quickly and establish a rosette of leaves near the ground.
Summer
- Plants that sprouted in spring mature, flower, and produce new seeds.
- In cooler climates, seeds can still germinate in early summer.
Fall
- In milder regions, some dandelion seeds that land in moist soil may also germinate in the fall.
- These plants usually stay small and overwinter as rosettes, resuming growth in spring.
? Winter
- Seeds don’t usually germinate in cold temperatures.
- However, they can lie dormant in the soil and wait for favorable spring conditions.
