Artichoke Green & Purple Heirloom Seed
Cynara scolymus
Item #0193
180-240 days. Many gardeners believe they can’t grow artichokes in their climate — but it’s actually quite easy to grow them just about anywhere if you have the space. The secret is to start them indoors very early, so they will have enough time to form buds. Two wonderful varieties — the short season ‘Green Globe Improved’ and the coveted Italian delicacy ‘Purple of Romagna’. Tender perennial grown as an annual in cold climates.
This packet plants approximately 18 plants.
