Crepis incana, the pink dandelion, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Crepis of the family Asteraceae, native to southern Greece. It is a rosette-forming herbaceous perennial growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall and wide. Superficially similar to the true dandelion (Taraxacum), it produces bright pink flower heads in late summer.[1]
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2]
