Reichardia

Reichardia intermedia (Sch. Bip.) Cout.

Reichardia picroides is a perennial plant often used as a salad green, resembling dandelion in appearance. It produces clusters of slender green leaves that may feature scalloped margins. From April to August, it showcases vibrant yellow flowers accompanied by heart-shaped bracts, attracting pollinators like bees. After flowering, the plant develops fluffy seed heads reminiscent of dandelion puffs. Both young and mature leaves can be harvested throughout the flowering period, offering a mild and subtly sweet taste. Additionally, this species demonstrates resistance to slugs.
