Person, Place or Thing?

Can you guess what I am?

■ I’ve got my own tea— and wine! ■ You’ll find me in root beer

■ In the Victorian era, the rich ate my “greens” as a delicacy ■ Native Americans used me as food and medicine

■ I’m edible: root, leaves and flower

■ I’m related to marigolds, zinnias and daisies

■ You may see me on your lawn ■ I’m also known as a blowball, priest’s- crown or puff-ball ■ Blow on me to make a wish ■ I’m dandy, no lying!
