We present a genome assembly of Tragopogon pratensis (goat’s-beard; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Asterales; Asteraceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 2 070.50 megabases and 2 042.83 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.01%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 381.64 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 153.13 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 5 039 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
