Sonchus acaulis
14th June 2011
A giant dandelion from Tenerife and Gran Canaria that produces a large leafy rosette. I think
it would prefer a richer soil than I give it but it isn't all that hardy so it has to come in for the winter.
I was given this as a seedling, and would like to keep it going so until it produces viable seed
it will have to suffer the windowsill treatment.

Now growing in a three gallon bucket, the days of keeping it on the windowsill are long over.
Growing in the greenhouse, it will have to take its chances with winter cold.

One of the most spectacular species in flower.
