Botanical Interests Seeds, Artichoke, Green Globe Improved & Purple Of Romagna 18 Ea

Cynara scolymus. Cool season. 180-240 days. Sow in early spring (cold climates) or early fall (mild climates). Start indoors very early for success in any climate! Two mouth-watering varieties, great cut flowers too! Many gardeners believe they can't grow artichokes in their climate, but they can be grown just about anywhere if you have the space. The secret is to start them indoors very early in cold climates so they have enough time to form buds. Green Globe Improved is a short season variety and Purple of Romagna is a coveted Italian heirloom. Both are perennial in mild climates, but grown as annuals in cold climates. This packet yields approximately 15 plants. We are dedicated to inspiring & educating the gardener in you. That's why we've put even more helpful information inside. More info inside. No GMOs.
