{{game help|p3|Find out how many days it takes for each stage of a Dandelion to grow. Also, determine if the process starts on the player's first day of the area, or if the behavior is different.}}
The '''Dandelion''' ({{j|タンポポ|Tanpopo|Dandelion}}), although an all-too-common weedy plant in the real world, is somewhat rare in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], appearing in only two overworld locations, one cave, and seven challenge mode levels. Dandelions are used merely for scenery and do not affect gameplay. [[Seeding Dandelion]]s can also be found in the series, but only affect gameplay in {{hp}}. The Dandelion is among the few organisms in the ''Pikmin'' series named after its {{w|Taraxacum|real world counterpart}}.

In {{p3}}, Dandelions evolve from each passing day from bud, to flower, to finally a Seeding Dandelion.
