How many seeds can a single dandelion spread in a year?

Up to 2,000 seeds

Background

A single dandelion can produce up to 2,000 seeds in one year. Every seed flies far with the wind on its tiny parachute. That is how the plant conquers new meadows and gardens everywhere. This is why dandelions are so hard to remove from a lawn.
