On my part, as I have bee hives (and dandelion flowers are really attracting a lot of bees starting from spring), I usually just pick the withered dandelion flowers and contain them by putting in my fireplace. That way, seeds will not have the chance to regrow. At the same time, I also dig some out. Of course, this is only realistic for smaller gardens which is what I also have.
