Pale False Dandelion

The Pale False Dandelion needs to be watered 1–2 times per week during the summer months and approximately 1–2 times per month during the winter months. Water the soil until it is moist but not soggy, ensuring that you soak the entire root system. It is important to note that during very hot and windy days, these plants may require more frequent watering. If the soil is allowed to dry completely, the plants may not recover.

The Pale False Dandelion is best suited for full sun exposure. These plants typically do very well when receiving at least 5 to 6 hours of sunlight per day. During the summer months, especially in locations with hot and dry climates, these plants may need to be protected from the intense afternoon sun to prevent sunburn. When exposed to too much sunlight, they may become stressed and need additional water. During the winter months, the amount of sunlight the Pale False Dandelion needs may be lower, as these plants go dormant and their growth slows. In colder climates, they may only need 3 to 4 hours of sunlight per day or can even tolerate partial shade

Pale False Dandelion (Agoseris glauca var. glauca) should be pruned once a year in early spring or late fall. Pruning should only be done when the plant is actively growing, typically in the spring season, as this will help to promote new growth. Prune lightly, removing only dead, diseased, or damaged foliage, as well as any flower stems or seed heads. Pruning more of the plant may damage the root structure. Removing no more than 1/3 of the green growth from each stem should be adequate to promote healthy growth of the species.
