Dandelion Digest Week 29 — Mullein Edition by Everwood Botanicals

🌼 Dandelion Digest Week 29 — Mullein Edition by Everwood Botanicals

The last dandelions settle low into the chilled soil now, their quiet roots gripping the earth with a kind of soft determination. This is the season of small, steady lights — and few plants embody that tenderness like mullein.

🌿 Plant Spotlight: Mullein

Soft as velvet and pale as lantern glow, mullein rises through fall with gentle strength. Its downy leaves and soft yellow blooms seem to hold the forest’s last warmth, storing it like memory. For centuries, mullein has been gathered for teas, oils, and comforting winter preparations — a plant of quiet resilience, glowing even in the November hush.

💧 Hydrating Salve

Made with Wisconsin dandelion, local beeswax, and nourishing oils, this rich salve seals in moisture when winds turn sharp. Perfect for hands, cheeks, and elbows after time outside — a small ritual of comfort that fits right into mullein season.

🍂 Seasonal Tip

Mullein seeds need light — they germinate best on bare soil. Scatter them gently over open patches before winter arrives. As snow melts in spring, they’ll take the cue and rise.

🌼 Dandelion Note

Like mullein’s steady glow, dandelion reminds us that gentleness is not weakness. Even as frost gathers at the edges, some roots deepen, some lights endure — quiet and sure.
