artichoke - green globe

Green Globe Artichokes are a popular and delicious variety known for their tender hearts and mild, nutty flavor. The large, round buds can be steamed, grilled, or roasted, adding a rich, savory element to salads, pastas, and dips. Harvest young for a more delicate taste or allow them to mature for a fuller, more intense flavor. Green Globe artichokes are not only tasty but also an attractive addition to garden landscapes with their large, silvery-green leaves and bold form. Best grown in well-drained soil with full sun, these perennial plants thrive and produce over multiple seasons. Plant in early spring for a summer harvest, or stagger plantings for a continuous yield. Each packet contains 50-60 seeds.
