Finding the elusive Russian Dandelion

I've been a little concerned with buying lots of hose, so I was interested in how I could 'grow my own hose'. Paul mentioned dandelions contain latex and have been considered by others.
Taraxacum kok-saghyz is the particular species that has been used successfully in the past for natural rubber cultivation. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get these seeds at a reasonable price.

It appears you are correct. These are very difficult to find.

This site has them listed with a growing consultation when you  purchase from them but their point of sale functionality is currently down.

Perhaps you can email their contact info at the above link and get some kind of connection.

Good luck!

Follow up!

I went ahead and emailed them. This is there response.

"Hi Clay

Sorry I don't have better news!

Woah thanks! I don't think I have the captital to make something like that work out haha
I've been emailing botanical gardens trying to find some.

I didn't imagine that was what you were hoping for haha

Please update the post if you find some and what you do with it!
