Tragopogon porrifolius usually follows a biennial cycle: a leaf rosette and fleshy taproot precede the flowering stem.
Botanical characteristics
The purple or mauve heads consist of ray florets and later form a large feathery pappus that helps disperse the fruits. White salsify refers to the root-based common name, not white flowers. It is distinct from yellow-flowered scorzonera.
A white root name, purple flowers
