Description

The listing, Green Globe Artichoke has ended.

25 Green Globe Artichoke seed. Grows well in lots of sun,compost and water. My first year I harvested 8 fair size artichokes. Second Season I am not kidding when I say I had a total of 20 between two plants. Give at least 5' between plants and mine reached the height of at least 5 1/2 ft. Very large and meaty hearts. I have 6 now.

Questions & Comments

I live in central Texas (zones 8b/9a). Is this able to handle very hot sun if watered well or will our triple-digit days wipe it out?

lazlo409 I am not from texas, live in California, but did a little research for you and have found this.. not sure if this helps... "The artichoke is a cool weather plant from the sunflower family. Artichokes grow into a thistle-type form with arching leaves and an attractive pink-purple flower. The mild winter climate in Texas makes this plant a perennial in most areas. A mature artichoke reaches a height up to 4 feet and may resemble a large fern. Artichokes grow well in the moist coastal areas of Texas. Planting artichokes inland requires supplemental water to keep the soil moist for growth and production."
