This member of the black pepper family this plant has leaves that look like beads giving it the look of a necklace. It needs medium to high light, near an east or a south window. If it loses too many leaves reduce watering periods.

A plant that both trails and climbs it rarely blooms indoors. Its leathery oval leaves grow so closely that they nearly obscure the brownish stems.

For a year this plant arched its flowered head in a fertile part of a flower bed. The second year up sprouted a new plant four feet away. Well, I thought, I 'll transplant it with the original plant. As I dug it up, it's source also appeared...a runner. Closer inspection revealed 10 more plants and more runners radiating from the parent plant. I gently dug up all the runners and the parent. 12 years have passed, I have 5 plants in partially submerged pots. They flower each year and have not escaped from their prison containers. Grower Beware!! Lovely plant, if you don't mind being a warden.

Jerry Sullivan (2109) wrote the following about Taraxacum laevigatum on Nov 27 2010
This much maligned member of the Asteraceae family graces many hillside, yard and dale during the summer months much to the consternation of most gardeners and grounds keepers. As a culinary treat in a green salad it is rich in necessary daily vitamins A, C and K among others. A fact not ignored by Oryctolagus Cuniclus on its evening munching menu. Propagation is accomplished by seed-bearing parachutes riding the summer breezes. When the parachute strikes an object, like a blade of grass or a tree branch, the achene(fruit) is released to fall on the soil below and begin anew.
