The desert dandelion grows in sandy or rocky soils in desert and semi-desert habitats. It is a drought-tolerant plant and can survive long periods of dry weather. The desert dandelion is an important food source for many animals, including butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. It is also used by humans for medicinal purposes.
