The listing, Cardoon Seeds has ended.

Here are another 30 seeds from a Cardoon flower, Cynara cardunculus, is a member of the thistle family and related to the Globe Artichoke.
The stalk can be blanched and eaten. The plant requires a 5 months cool growing period and is frost sensitive.
it grows to about 100cm in heights and the striking violet-blue flowers are 10cm across and attract bees and rose chafers and wasps. Need direct sunlight all day. From my own plant.

Love thistles! Do you think they can be grown in pots? Rarely have 5 months of cool weather here in Texas.

They can totally be started in pots but would need to be transplanted into the ground at some point. They need constant sun to thrive at their best. We had some that didn't bloom at all because they were in the shade, we moved them into the sun the next year and they grew over 6ft tall. They are amazing and can spread by themselves when they go to seed. So I think every year you can probably cut them down and repot them for a cooling down period. Never had to do that myself as I am in Canada. :P
