I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the hedge flower' is the definition.
'dandelion' can be an answer for 'flower' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'the hedge' bit.

'will make an odd line' is the wordplay.
'will make' indicates an anagram.
'an'+'odd'+'line'='anoddline'
'anoddline' is an anagram of 'DANDELION'.

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
