Taraxacum officinale
About Taraxacum officinale
Commonly known as dandelion, Taraxacum officinale features bright yellow flowers and deeply toothed leaves that form a basal rosette. This hardy turf weed thrives in disturbed soils across Middle Tennessee lawns, including Columbia and Franklin, where its deep taproot makes removal difficult and allows it to compete aggressively with desirable grasses. Homeowners should address dandelion infestations promptly to maintain healthy, uniform turfgrass.
Taraxacum officinale is a turf weed commonly found in lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Weed Identification Library.
As lawn care and treatment specialists, we identify and treat Taraxacum officinale regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward selecting the right herbicide and timing for effective control.
