there are a ton of less PITA pollinators than dandelions

there is a pollinator 'round here that competes with the dandelion that is very dandelion like but actually houses native butterfly cocoons

so the dandelions get ripped up round here

you mean milkweed, it has to be native milkweed, otherwise the ornamental ones, usually the tropical ones can do more harm than good.
